Based on lithological characteristics, the Pabdeh represents deposition in a deep-water, anoxic environment in an overall transgressive sequence.
Historically, the distribution of macrofossils offered important refinement to the simple three-fold subdivision of the Chalk based on lithological criteria.
The parasequences and stacking pattern of the studied sequence were essentially based on the lithological, facies associations and biostratigraphic data, and also on the key surfaces (e.g. sequence boundaries and flooding surfaces) that, in combination with biostratigraphy, allow robust correlation.
Based on the lithological characteristics of Units IV and V, Unit IV was interpreted as accretionary prism sediments that accumulated in either a paleo-trench or the Shikoku Basin, and Unit V is considered to be a thick layer of hemipelagic sediments that was deposited in the Shikoku Basin before subducting at the Nankai Trough (Moore et al. 2013).
Data was collected based on color change.
Based on the geological, lithological and morphological description of the area and based on the account of historical data, a soil depth of 2 3.5 m was found to be the value that agrees best with the quantity of entrained material in past events (Remaître et al. 2008; Quan Luna et al. 2011, 2014).
A simple SMA, in which each constituting terrain feature is represented by its mean spectral signature, a multiple endmember SMA MESMAandand a segmented SMA, which accounts for soil brightness variations by forcing the substrate endmember choice based on ancillary data (lithological map), were applied.
It is to be noted that the depositional facies interpreted for this well is based on the log-based lithological interpretation, probability of depositional facies occurrence.
Policy ranking is based on 5 potentially accepted policy changes.
The interpretation of geophysical data in terms of basement structures and hydraulic properties requires a sound knowledge on possible lithological changes (Abdelfettah et al. [2014]; Denlinger and Kovach [1981]).
