Turbidites and Associated Deep Water Facies
Robert D. Winn, Jr. and John M. Armentrout
Deep-water siliciclastic reservoirs are a major high-potential play. As of December 1994, more than 170 wildcats have been drilled in the deep-water Gulf of Mexico with thirty announced discoveries. This core workshop has been assembled to examine the sediment and rocks deposited within eight slope basins of the Gulf of Mexico.

Title information
Deep-water siliciclastic reservoirs are a major high-potential play. As of December 1994, more than 170 wildcats have been drilled int he deep-water Gulf of Mexico with thirty announced discoveries. This core workshop has been assembled to examine the sediment and rocks deposited within eight slope basins of the Gulf of Mexico. The papers provide a starting point for discussions of depositional processes, facies, and reservoir and production characteristics based on observations from cores and core-photos. Turbidite is the most common word used to describe the sediment and rocks cored, but careful reading demonstrates that slumps, debris flows, high-density and low-density turbidites, and bottom-current reworked sediments are all recognized.
