This course examines different deepwater depositional systems and considers how deepwater process, topography and sediment supply impact on these systems.
The course examines analogue data from turbidite reservoirs and modern turbidite systems. Depositional settings and sequences associated with clastic deepwater systems are reviewed, along with the geological controls on reservoir quality and architecture.
It also examines post-depositional process that can have a major impact on reservoir quality and architecture, and considers this within the context of the petroleum system.
