Sandstone Depositional Models for Exploration for Fossil Fuels

Abstract

The deltaic sand body environment is one of the most complex depositional systems reviewed in this monograph. The complexity of deltas originates directly from the relative interplay of riverine input, wave energy flux, tidal energy flux, sediment dispersal, climate, and tectonic setting, among other variables (Galloway, 1975; Coleman, 1976).
