Abstract:
Mini-basins are well known targets for petroleum exploration as they can contain significant hydrocarbon reserves, such as in the Gulf of Mexico. Though mini-basins have been studied before, their reservoir rock distributions remain poorly predictable. This is especially the case where mini-basins are near salt-diapirs. The Donkey Bore Syncline in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia, presents an excellently exposed deepwater mini-basin reservoir analogue. Detailed outcrop study, including vertical and lateral logged sections presented here, shed considerable light on the depositional system, especially with regards to depositional style and stages of basin-fill. Based on the observed facies and deposit geometries, the authors have been able to detect the change from a carbonate to a siliciclastic deposition system and interpret mini-basin-fill initiation and progradation processes. Sandy gravity-flow deposit lobe areas are identified, enclosed within shales. Along with paleocurrent data, these enable the description and interpretation of basin-fill stages and the lateral character of reservoir-analogue depositional tracts. This will be useful for better interpretation of mini-basin turbidite sequences and will help reduce uncertainties in subsurface exploration. This may also improve prediction of basin-fill where well spacing is inadequate.

Abstract:
The Donkey Bore Syncline in the Northern Flinders Ranges of South Australia contains a generally finegrained deepwater succession of Early Cambrian age (Bunkers Sandstone) that outcrops on three sides of a syncline and flanks an active salt diapir to the east (Wirrealpa Diapir). Within the succession lies a basal sand-prone interval interpreted as a basin floor fan (BFF) ponded within a mini-basin on a topographically complex slope.The BFF comprises over 30 m of section with deposits that are dominantly massive clean sandstone beds (0.1– 3 m thick) that are stacked or interbedded with siltstones and pinch out along strike.Eight stratigraphic sections and accompanying spectral gamma ray logs (using a hand held scintillometer) were measured through the BFF. Using spectral gamma ray log analysis combined with stratigraphic logs, four alternative correlation panels were constructed.Quantitative analysis of sand-prone intervals interpreted in each of the panels provided data on the vertical and horizontal connectivity within the BFF as different correlation methods were explored and the geological model improved. Quantitative analysis of vertical and horizontal connectivity values indicates a high degree of heterogeneity within the BFF, with poor–moderate vertical connectivity, with individual beds rarely correlating >500 m along strike. This heterogeneity is poorly resolved using conventional wireline log suites, but is greatly improved if spectral gamma ray logs are used (especially Thorium).The data set provides a high-resolution analogue for understanding the internal architecture of deepwater hydrocarbon reservoirs.

Abstract:

The eastern Willouran Ranges and northern Flinders Ranges, South Australia contain Neoproterozoic and Cambrian outcrop exposures of diapiric breccia contained in salt diapirs, salt sheets and associated growth strata that provide a natural laboratory for testing and refining models of salt-sediment interaction, specifically allochthonous salt initiation and emplacement and halokinetic deformation. Allochthonous salt, which is defined as a sheet-like diapir of mobile evaporite emplaced at younger stratigraphic levels above the autochthonous source, is emplaced due to the interplay between the rate of salt supply to the front of the sheet and the sediment-accumulation rate, and may be flanked by low- to high-angle stratal truncations to halokinetic folds. Halokinetic sequences (HS) are localized (<1000 m) unconformity-bound successions of growth strata adjacent to salt diapirs that form as drape folds due to the interplay between salt rise rate (R) and sediment accumulation rate (A). HS stack to form tabular and tapered composite halokinetic sequences (CHS), which have narrow and broad zones of thinning, respectively. The concepts of CHS formation are derived from outcrops in shallow water to subaerial depositional environments in La Popa Basin, Mexico and the Flinders Ranges, South Australia. Current models for allochthonous salt emplacement, including surficial glacial flow, advance above subsalt shear zones and emplacement along tip thrusts, do not address how salt transitions from steep feeders to low-angle sheets and the model for the formation of halokinetic sequences has yet to be fully applied or tested in a deepwater setting. Thus, this study integrates field data from South Australia with subsurface data from the northern Gulf of Mexico to test the following: (1) current models of allochthonous salt advance and subsalt deformation using structural analysis of stratal truncations adjacent to outcropping salt bodies, with a focus on the transition from steep diapirs to shallow salt sheets in South Australia; and (2) the outcrop-based halokinetic sequence model using seismic and well data from the Auger diapir, located in the deepwater northern Gulf of Mexico. Structural analysis of strata flanking steep diapirs and allochthonous salt in South Australia reveals the transition from steep diapirs to shallowly-dipping salt sheets to be abrupt and involves piston-like breakthrough of roof strata, freeing up salt to flow laterally. Two models explain this transition: 1) salt-top breakout, where salt rise occurs inboard of the salt flank, thereby preserving part of the roof beneath the sheet; and 2) salt-edge breakout, where rise occurs at the edge of the diapir with no roof preservation. Shear zones, fractured or mixed `rubble zones' and thrust imbricates are absent in strata beneath allochthonous salt and adjacent to steep diapirs. Rather, halokinetic drape folds, truncated roof strata and low- and high-angle bedding intersections are among the variety of stratal truncations adjacent to salt bodies in South Australia. Interpretation and analysis of subsurface data around the Auger diapir reveals similar CHS geometries, stacking patterns and ratios of salt rise and sediment accumulation rates, all of which generally corroborate the halokinetic sequence model. The results of this study have important implications for salt-sediment interaction, but are also critical to understanding and predicting combined structural-stratigraphic trap geometry, reservoir prediction and hydrocarbon containment in diapir-flank settings.
