Objectives of Study
• Generate a regional interpretation for significant strata in the North Slope of Alaska using geophysical data
• Gain insight into the stratigraphic and tectonic history of the region, e. g. what is the relationship between major sequence boundaries and later thrusting?
• Create a balanced model of the region to account for observed stratigraphy and structure
![Page 3: Sequence Stratigraphic and Structural Interpretation and ...€¦ · Sequence Stratigraphic and Structural Interpretation and Modeling in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040121/5eac6575e853c64aa94a3c36/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Potential Applications
• Significant petroleum production in the North Slope- Prudhoe Bay, Alpine etc.
• Understanding of stratigraphy, structure and relative timing is very relevant to petroleum exploration– Source rock depositional environment
– Reservoir facies, i.e. shelf or deep water versus slope
– Structural traps

National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska
• Region set aside by Congress for the exploration and production of oil and gas.
• Previous studies:– USGS undertook a comprehensive
study of the region in 70’s-80’s, including drilling test wells and collecting 14,000+ miles of geophysical survey data (Gryc, 1988)
– Sequence stratigraphic interpretation of Cretaceous section: Houseknecht et al. 2009, Houseknecht and Bird, 2004, also theses by W&L geo students Stier (2012), and (in the state lands) Frierson (2011)
– Fault-related folding interpretation of the state lands: thesis by W&L geo student Stockmeyer (2011).
• Bill pending in congress to commission a new USGS study of the region (H.R. 2150)

Regional StratigraphyNanushuk & Torok – Clinoform depositional sequences composed of dark marine shales and sandstones associated with the Chukotka orogenic belt which shed sediment eastward (Middle Cretaceous)
Pebble Shale – A thin organic rich black shale that lies unconformably on the Kingak Shale (Early Cretaceous)
Kingak – Deposited in a succession of sequences during the rift opening of the Arctic Ocean (Late Triassic to Early Cretaceous)
Shublik – A mixture of carbonate, mudstone, shale, and sandstone depostited on a southward sloping margin, representing a regional marine transgression (Triassic)

Depth Conversion
• Seismic data is in time units, so horizons are also in time units
• Horizons and faults must be converted to depth in order to build a model in depth units
– Associate well data (depth) to interpreted horizons (time) in order to build a velocity model over the NPRA
– Velocity model can then be used to convert time horizons into depth

Conclusions
• Sequence stratigraphic interpretation shows progradational clinoforms in Torok sequences
– Sequence geometry evolves over time
– Shelf margin progrades eastward
• Structural interpretation is consistent with typical fold and thrust belt deformation
– Fault-related folding
– Detachments in weaker shale layers
• Lower detachment in condensed shale section (Shublik, Kingak, Pebble Shale)
• Upper detachment in Torok slope facies

Future Work
• Restoration of models in 3D and cross sections in 2D
– Undo structural deformation, i.e. faulting and folding
– Decompaction to remove burial effects
• Basin modeling
• Connect interpretation here with previous work in adjacent regions
