英文摘要 | An extensive seismic database covering an area of 100,000 km(2) (38,610 mi(2)) and 16 wells are integrated to define a sequence-stratigraphic framework for the Lower Cretaceous succession in the southwestern Barents Sea. Seven sequences (S0-S6) are defined, and the geometry, trajectory, and lateral variability of decompacted seismic clinoforms are described to elucidate the depositional history of the basin and to better understand coarse-grained sediment transport from the shelf to basin. Three different clinoform scales are recognized: (1) clinoform sets with 35-60 m (115-197 ft) height, interpreted as deltaic or shoreline clinoforms; (2) clinoformsets with 60-110m(197-361 ft) height, interpreted as sediments prograding on a continental shelf; and (3) clinoforms with greater than 150 m (>492 ft) height, which represent shelf-margin clinoforms. Furthermore, clinoforms are grouped into two main progradation directions: (1) clinoforms prograded to the southeast in sequences 2-3, in the Fingerdjupet Subbasin and the western Bjarmeland platform, indicating a source of sediments located in the west-northwestern Barents Sea, and (2) clinoforms prograded to the southwest in sequences 1-6, in the eastern part of the Bjarmeland platform, Nordkapp Basin, and Finnmark platform, indicating a second source of sediments located in the east-northeast. Additionally, in the Hammerfest Basin, clinoforms prograded to the southeast off the Loppa high in sequences 5-6. Low-relief (35-60 m [115-197 ft]), high-gradient, and oblique clinoforms are observed within sequence 2 in the western Bjarmeland platform. The high-gradient foresets are interpreted as potential coarse-grained deposits or as a result of clinoforms prograding to progressive deeper waters, resulting in steeper foresets. Clinoforms located in the eastern part of the study area are interpreted as sourced by a mud-rich system, reflecting a long transportation distance. However, thin, heterolithic patterns in the gamma-ray log possibly reflect thin, sheetlike sands. The height of the clinoforms seems to be a factor controlling the sediment bypass to deep water in the study area. When the height is more than 200 m (656 ft), bottomset deposits are common. This study contributes to a better understanding of the paleogeography and the evolution of the frontier southwestern Barents Sea during the Early Cretaceous and to comprehending the variables increasing the bypass of coarse-grained sediments to deep-water settings. |
