Seismic prediction of reservoir continuity and pre-drill net-to-gross estimates in West African slope channel systems are greatly enhanced when calibrated with conventional core. Cores available for inspection include a full spectrum of turbidite and debrite lithofacies deposited in confined-channel complexes of African paleodeepwater basins. The core material highlights several hierarchical scales of erosion and deposition that influence sandstone amalgamation and the preservation of intervening shale-prone units.
Multiple operators and basins are featured in this unique special session, including a complete source to sink cored cross-section of the 14A Sequence from the Orange Basin of South Africa. Cores from Angola Blocks 15 and 17, a world-class deepwater reservoir producing province are also highlighted.
