Climate controlled aggradation and cyclicity ofcontinental siliciclastic sediments in Wolfcampian cyclothems, Permian, Hugoton embayment U.S.A. - Data Repository
Abstract
Climate controlled aggradation and cyclicity of continental siliciclastic sediments in Wolfcampian cyclothems, Permian, Hugoton embayment U.S.A. is an outcome of a larger study focused on the Wolfcampian gas resource in the Hugoton field. That comprehensive multi-discipline study represents nearly a decade of effort by Kansas Geological Survey and industry scientists. It included the building of a vast 3D geocellular model of the entire Wolfcampian volume over the study area. The finely-layered 108-million-cell model provided a 3D view of the distribution of marine and continental siliciclastic lithofacies. Readers interested in details on Hugoton geomodel construction and a more thorough discussion of the marine portion of the cyclothems in this study were directed to published work (Dubois et al. 2006b, 2007).
Description
The purpose of the Data Repository (DR) is twofold: 1) provide additional tables and figures and associated text that directly supplement the material provided in the paper, and 2) provide background material not available through publications or other channels. Two digital files, one for each purpose, are provided in the DR. The file covering background material is the appendix to Dubois Ph.D. dissertation, Ramp-scale geomodel for reservoir and stratigraphic analysis of the Hugoton field (Wolfcampian, midcontinent U.S.A.), completed in 2007. Two of the three dissertation' chapters have been published (Dubois et al., 2006a, 2006b) and the third is the current paper under review.
