Marine Clastic reservoirs provides an integrated perspective
to sandstone reservoir description and analysis. It combines
analog-oriented methods fromsequence stratigraphy with
rigorous stratigraphic and sedimentological description of
cores and outcrops to develop a process-based analysis of
sandstone facies. Twelve chapters, divided into 3 sections,
first describe the specific use of sequence stratigraphy to
catalog, identify, andpredict marine clastic reservoir
facies. Next they examine the importance ofrigorous
sedimentological and geomorphic description. Finally, marine
depositional environments from delta systems to deep-sea
fans arereviewed to give examples of these improved
descriptive and analytical techniques
