Modelling of sediment wedge movement along low-angle detachments using ABAQUS^TM

Publisher: Geological Society of London

Date: 09-08-2012

DOI: 10.1144/SP367.12

Abstract: Delta–deepwater fold–thrust belts (DDWFTBs) develop over low-angle detachment faults which link extension to downslope contraction. Detachment faults have been examined in previous studies for the Amazon Fan, Niger, Nile, Angola, Baram and Bight Basin DDWFTBs. The driving mechanisms for the movement along the detachment remain uncertain, however. Previous authors have attributed the movement along detachment faults to high pore-fluid pressure, which reduces the effective normal stress acting on a fault surface thereby encouraging sliding along the fault. However, high pore-fluid pressure has not been directly confirmed in many of these faults due to a lack of well data in detachment surfaces. In this study, finite element modelling was used to test the effects of pore-fluid pressure, coefficient of friction, sediment rigidity and sediment wedge angle on sliding along the detachment. The modelling suggests that increased pore-fluid pressures and decreased coefficients of friction increase slip along a detachment. At hydrostatic pore-fluid pressures, sediment rigidity and sediment wedge angle have relatively little effect on the movement of the sediment wedge along the detachment. Modelling of these conditions using ABAQUS™ improves our understanding of the nature and mechanics of DDWFTBs and their underlying detachments.

Stress deflections around salt diapirs in the Gulf of Mexico

Publisher: Geological Society of London

Date: 09-08-2012

DOI: 10.1144/SP367.10

Abstract: Delta–deepwater fold–thrust belts are linked systems of extension and compression. Margin-parallel maximum horizontal stresses (extension) on the delta top are generated by gravitational collapse of accumulating sediment, and drive downdip margin-normal maximum horizontal stresses (compression) in the deepwater fold–thrust belt (or delta toe). This maximum horizontal stress rotation has been observed in a number of delta systems. Maximum horizontal stress orientations, determined from 32 petroleum wells in the Gulf of Mexico, are broadly margin-parallel on the delta top with a mean orientation of 060 and a standard deviation of 49°. However, several orientations show up to 60° deflection from the regional margin-parallel orientation. Three-dimensional (3D) seismic data from the Gulf of Mexico delta top demonstrate the presence of salt diapirs piercing the overlying deltaic sediments. These salt diapirs are adjacent to wells (within 500 m) that demonstrate deflected stress orientations. The maximum horizontal stresses are deflected to become parallel to the interface between the salt and sediment. Two cases are presented that account for the alignment of maximum horizontal stresses parallel to this interface: (1) the contrast between geomechanical properties of the deltaic sediments and adjacent salt diapirs and (2) gravitational collapse of deltaic sediments down the flanks of salt diapirs.

Geomechanical modelling of fault reactivation in the ceduna sub-basin, bight basin, australia

Publisher: Geological Society of London

DOI: 10.1144/SP367.6

Abstract: The Ceduna Sub-basin is located within the Bight Basin on the Australian southern margin. Recent structural analysis using newly acquired two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) seismic data demonstrates two Late Cretaceous delta–deepwater fold–thrust belts (DDWFTBs), which are overlain by Cenozoic sediments. The present-day normal fault stress regime identified in the Bight Basin indicates that the maximum horizontal stress ( S Hmax ) is margin parallel Andersonain faulting theory therefore suggests the delta-top extensional faults are oriented favourably for reactivation. A breached hydrocarbon trap encountered in the Jerboa-1 well demonstrates this fault reactivation. Faults interpreted from 3D seismic data were modelled using the Poly3D © geomechanical code to determine the risk of reactivation. Results indicate delta-top extensional faults that dip 40–70° are at moderate–high risk of reactivation, while variations in the orientation of the fault planes results in an increased risk of reactivation. Two pulses of inversion are identified in the Ceduna Sub-basin and correlate with the onset of rifting and fault reactivation in the Santonian. We propose a ridge-push mechanism for this stress which selectively reactivates extensional faults on the delta-top, forming inversion anticlines that are prospective for hydrocarbon exploration.
