Title information
This is a compilation of keynote papers from the 2002 Conference of the Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists and the 2004 Annual Conference of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and SEPM. These sessions, entitled Facies Models Revisited, were intended to capture the state of the art with respect to facies modeling in several key depositional environments. This volume is focused on clastic depositional settings including continental (aeolian and fluvial), estuarine, shoreface, deltaic, shelf, and deep water. The approach that was encouraged with the authors was to follow a first-principles rather than a model-driven approach. This philosophy was to provide the reader with the tools and rules to create their own models rather than providing them with "canned" models or "templates". Following this approach, it is believed that geoscientists will develop better and more predictive facies of depositional models. The editors believe this volume will find a niche with both academic as well as industry and government geoscientists.
