The Tide-Dominated Han River Delta, Korea
Geomorphology, Sedimentology, and Stratigraphic Architecture
Description
Key Features
- Offers new access to results of a multi-year hydrocarbon-reservoir analogue study not available elsewhere
- Features 75 full-color figures and illustrations to emphasize critical aspects of the delta’s sedimentology, geomorphology, and stratigraphy
- Provides basic data that better define what tide-dominated deltas are, how these complex systems behave over time, and why this is so
- Aids petroleum geologists and reservoir engineers in predicting the distribution of baffles and barriers in tide-dominated sediment bodies, helping in the successful development of reservoirs
Readership
The Oil and Gas sector world-wide has interest in operational and developmental activities in the Han River Delta. Petroleum geologists, reservoir engineers, coastal geomorphologists, marine geologists, sedimentologists, and seismic/sequence stratigraphers. are the primary market
