Abstract

Abstract

This paper mainly presents the definition and forming process of deepwater sediment,as well as the characteristics of deepwater sequence stratigraphy and sedimentary elements. The deepwater sediment is deposited in deepwater environment by the gravity flow,forms during the drop and earlier rise of relative water level,and mainly distributes in lowstand systems tract.The deepwater sequence is bounded by condensed section.Mass transport deposits form the beginning of a sequence formation and sit on the sequence boundary.Then they are overlaid by channel-levee deposits.The typical deepwater sedimentary elements include channel,levee and overbank,sheet sand,and mass transport deposits.These elements are systematically deposited in time and space.Channel is the main sediment conduit and deposition area.From updip to downdip area,the sinuosity of channel increases and the flow energy decreases.The channel migrates laterally and evolves from lower low sinuous sand-rich to upper high sinuous mud-rich channel.Levee and overbank are dominated by muddy deposits,and levee distributes along the channel and exhibits wedge shape.The proximal levee is characterized by high content of sandstone,thicker deposit and big dip angle,while the distal levee is characterized by low content of sandstone,thinner deposit,small dip angle,good lateral continuity and poor vertical communication.Sheet sand is the distal unconfined deposits of the deepwater fan and can be divided into conglomerate and layered types,and conglomerate sheet sand has a good lateral continuity and vertical communication.The layered sheet sand has a good lateral continuity and poor vertical communication.Mass transport deposits are the slumps,slides and debris flow due to the slope failure during lowstand period.It can erode the underlying strata,and the deformation structure is very common in mass transport deposit,and it can also serve as a good seal for oil and gas.
