Progradation of deltaic systems that reach the shelf edge is considered a primary mechanism to deliver sand continental margins. Sediment bypass processes can dominate outer upper slope transition, causing poor preservation reservoir quality sandstones. Turbidites carry bulk coarse fraction downdip where thicker pile be deposited once channel-to-lobe transition reached. Predicting this lateral and vertical variability along challenging. This configuration further complicated when mixed...

Determination of turbidite event magnitude and frequency remains subjective difficult to define. This is because sedimentation events commonly include both sand mud, with the mud component excluded from bed thickness studies inability establish a genetic link turbidity current. Pelagic mudrock defined as fine-grained marine sediment derived primarily biogenic particles, whereas hemipelagic includes terrigenous particles. Unfortunately, these compositional definitions do not account for...

Deep learning has shown great potential in geosciences, such as seismic data processing and interpretation, improving decision-making reducing analysis time. However, deep faces two main challenges. First, many models rely on labeled data, which can be time-consuming to obtain. Second, the predictions from these often lack interpretability, making it difficult use them for high-value decisions. To address limitations, we propose a novel workflow that eliminates need enables interpretation of...

Nanodiamonds (diamondoids) are the ideal geochemical tool for hydrocarbon-source correlation in high-maturity fields since they thermally stable and outlast biomarkers (molecular fossils), which deteriorate with thermal maturity. Diamondoids form shallow subsurface as organic material reacts clay minerals source rock, thereby preserving information about precursor compounds parent minerals. The unique suites of diamondoids generated by these combinations allow direct linkage between expelled...

In this article, we describe a new approach to seismic stratigraphic interpretation. We build on the concept of relative geologic time attribute introduced by Stark (2004) define thickness attribute, which can then be interpreted reconstruct depocenter migration from data. The principles stratigraphy were established in classic AAPG Memoir 26. At (1977), manual interpretation 2D was still typical E&P industry. Simple truncation geometries such as onlap, downlap, and toplap used...

Identifying subsurface resource analogs from mature datasets is vital for developing new prospects due to often initial limited or absent information. Traditional methods selecting these analogs, executed by domain experts, face challenges dataset's high complexity, noise, and dimensionality. This article aims simplify this process introducing an objective geostatistics-based machine learning workflow analog selection. Our innovative offers a systematic unbiased solution, incorporating...

Data analytics facilitate the examination of spatial data sets by using multiple techniques to find and understand patterns guide decision making. However, standard analysis tools assume that are independent identically distributed, an assumption usually do not fulfill. Furthermore, usual methods neglect continuity inherent paucity should be considered in workflow. We present a new approach combines analytics, geostatistics, optimization provide end-to-end workflow analyze two-dimensional...

Abstract A recently discovered the rare-earth-rich site in Capacsaya, located at 123 km northwest of Cusco, south Peru, contains significant quantities light and heavy rare-earth elements such as neodymium, lanthanum, cerium, europium, yttrium. This work reports identification their associated minerals using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy diffraction analyses. Five (5) samples extracted from different locations Capacsaya were characterized identified...
