 Depositional Environment
 Depositional Environment is one of the parameters that define the
reservoir geology.
 Depositional processes control porosity, permeability, net to gross ratio,
extent and lateral variability of reservoir properties.

 Depositional Sedimentary
Environments
Sediments can be deposited in different environments:

Continental / Terrestrial
Fluvial - Sediment is deposited by a river.
Eolian - Sediment deposited by wind (deserts).
Lacustrine - Sediment deposited in Lakes.
Glacial - Sediment deposited by ice and meltwater.

Marine
Sediment accumulates on the ocean floor in shallow (continental shelf and
reef) to intermediate then deep (abyssal plain) environments.

72
 Depositional Environment

Transitional
 Between land (terrestrial) and marine environments.
 Deltaic - Deposits at the mouth of a major stream/ river.
 Beaches, lagoons and barrier islands - Sediment deposited by wind or
water.

73
 Interpretation of Depositional
Environment by Means of Well Logs
The most valuable tools for a detailed environmental analysis are cores and wireline logs.
In particular the gamma ray (GR) response is useful since it captures the changes in energy
during deposition.

 Petroleum System

Source Rock
Rich in terrigenous organic matter concentrated in Middle Miocene Stage IVA/B sedimentary
intervals.

Reservoir Rock
Late Miocene Stage IVC interbedded, stacked deltaic fluvio-marine prograding and retrograding
sandstone with thin shale.

Maturation & Migration

Timing for maturation varies from late Miocene Stage to present day.
Vertical migration along the fault.

Trap & Seals

Structural stratigraphy combination buried hill trap, akin to simple anticlinal features.

 Petroleum System

TYPES OF MIGRATION

Primary Migration
Involves the expulsion of petroleum from the source rock to
reservoir rock.

Secondary Migration
Involves the movement of petroleum through permeable layers (
carrier beds ) to the trap.

Seal/ Cap Rocks

 The seal or cap rock us an impermeable
rock which don`t allow the hydrocarbons to
escape from the reservoir rock.

 Common examples of cap rocks are

chalks, shale , clays , etc.
