Deep-water Turbidite Depositional Systems and Reservoirs
This course examines modern, ancient and subsurface examples of turbidite reservoirs, using analogue data to test and refine subsurface interpretations. It reviews established and emerging ideas on turbidite and debris-flow processes, with case studies on reservoir architecture, sand quality and distribution.
