Sequence stratigraphic controls on reservoir quality: Insights from the Middle Miocene Birsa Formation, Gulf of Hammamet, Southern Mediterranean

Depositional sequence and hydrocarbon reservoir evaluation of the Cretaceous succession, Ras Budran Field, Gulf of Suez Basin, Egypt

The Ras Budran Field, Gulf of Suez Basin, exhibits a complex structural and stratigraphic architecture that governs Cretaceous reservoir distribution. However, existing studies typically address either structural configuration, petrophysical properties, or sequence stratigraphy in isolation, leaving a critical gap in i...

Stratigraphic architecture and reservoir quality variability assessment of cretaceous deltaic deposits of lower goru formation using well log data

Stratigraphic controls on reservoir quality in the deep-offshore Niger Delta: Integrated sequence-stratigraphic and petrophysical evidence from the ‘BX’ Field

Reservoir development in the Niger Delta is affected by geological uncertainties arising from complex stratigraphic architecture, high-frequency sea-level changes, fault-controlled subsidence, and variable sediment supply, which complicate prediction of reservoir geometry, continuity, and quality. This study integrates...

Delta-drift sedimentation in a strait system: the early–middle Miocene Bonifacio Strait, southern Corsica, western Mediterranean

Despite significant advances in the study of straits over the past decade, depositional processes governing their geological development remain poorly constrained because of incomplete stratigraphic records, lack of distinguishable deposits, and fossil-poor facies hindering environmental interpretation. This study in...

Integrated sedimentological and sequence stratigraphic framework of the Paleocene–Eocene Series at Kef Essnoun, Djebel Onk (Northeastern Algeria)

The Paleocene–Eocene succession at jebel Onk, northeastern Algeria, remains poorly understood, despite its significance for reconstructing paleoenvironments during a critical period of global change. Unlike the well-studied equivalent series in the Metlaoui–Gafsa Basin, the Algerian counterpart lacks a robust stratigra...

ANATOMY OF AN UPPER ZANCLEAN MIXED SILICI-BIOCLASTIC TRANSGRESSIVE SYSTEM: THE ROLE OF HIGH-FREQUENCY EUSTASY AND TECTONIC SUBSIDENCE ON THE STRATAL ARCHITECTURE OF THE SPUNGONE SANDSTONE, EASTERN CENTRAL ITALY

 The upper Zanclean Spungone Sandstone records the onset of a major transgression along the western margin of the Periadriatic Basin, eastern central Italy, and comprises a 130 m-thick succession of shallow-marine strata characterized by a highly regular cyclical stratigraphy. Integrated analysis of both physical and b...
