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).
