Sentence examples for basin settings from inspiring English sources

"We're looking at heat that's effectively created by depth, and because we're doing this in sedimentary basin settings, three to four kilometres is usually the depth you need to get the temperatures required," says Dr Rowan Hansberry, a post-doctoral researcher at the South Australian centre for geothermal energy research.

Thus, large reductions in benzocarbazole ratios and concentrations are seen in reservoired petroleums in the foreland basin settings of Western Canada and Oman,[7, 14, 15] and for vertically migrated oils in the Gulf of Mexico and in the Kekeya Field of the Tarim Basin[37] which must have migrated through kilometers of mudstones.[36].[36]

Although the climate and basin settings vary in these cases, we think that estimates of upward flux presented by (Jorgensen et al. 1996) and Senger and Fogg (1987) (i.e., orders of magnitude lower than natural recharge or possibly zero) are more realistic and consistent with current knowledge of basin hydrology.

Sedimentary architecture and facies analysis from chronologically constrained sections (using magnetostratigraphy and TL/OSL) indicate that systems I and II, although developed in similar hinterland-basin settings, indicate contrasting aggradation and entrenchment.

With abundant well penetrations in proximal and distal settings and 3D seismic coverage, the Auger Basin is an ideal location to study the influence of basin setting and accommodation on the stratigraphic architecture of ancient turbidite systems.

Turbidite channels are major conduits and repositories of sediment in the deep sea and they form important hydrocarbon reservoirs in many slope and basin-floor settings.

Recognition of this delta type in the ancient record is nevertheless important, because (1) it helps to position the fossil shelf edge, (2) it provides insight into how sand budgets were partitioned between shelf edge, slope and basin-floor settings, and (3) it can contribute to the debate concerning three versus four systems-tract systematics and the positioning of a sequence boundary.

The understanding of the nature of the Oligocene incised valley fill helps in the constrain potential down depositional dip hydrocarbon reservoirs in Nile Delta, East Mediterranean basins, and similar settings in passive continental margins.

Mafic rocks Most ocean basins (including MOR and ABA settings) are of mafic composition (mainly basaltic).

These results will also provide guidance to natural gas exploration and research efforts in other basins with similar geological settings.

These results can provide some information for future petroleum exploration in the Baiyun Depression, as well as in other petroliferous basins with similar geological settings.
