The Geology of Fluvial Deposits: Sedimentary Facies, Basin Analysis, and Petroleum Geology

The Geology of Fluvial Deposits: Sedimentary Facies, Basin Analysis, and Petroleum Geology

4th printing 2006 | Andrew D. Miall
The book "The Geology of Fluvial Deposits: Sedimentary Facies, Basin Analysis, and Petroleum Geology" by Professor Dr. Andrew D. Miall provides a comprehensive overview of fluvial deposits, their stratigraphic framework, and their significance in petroleum and mineral resource exploration. The first part of the book constructs the stratigraphic framework of fluvial deposits, starting with lithofacies and progressing to architectural elements and facies associations. It then discusses correlation and large-scale stratigraphic frameworks, including autogenic processes like channel shifting and cyclicity, and allogenic controls such as tectonic, eustatic, and climatic factors. The final chapters focus on petroleum geology, addressing the geometry of reservoirs, primary reservoir heterogeneities, and the stratigraphic and tectonic distribution of petroleum reservoirs. The book includes extensive references, hundreds of examples, and diagrams, making it a valuable resource for advanced students, researchers, and professionals in the field. The author acknowledges the contributions of numerous colleagues and students, as well as the support from various institutions and organizations.The book "The Geology of Fluvial Deposits: Sedimentary Facies, Basin Analysis, and Petroleum Geology" by Professor Dr. Andrew D.
