Sedimentology and Reservoir Heterogeneity of a Valley-Fill Deposit?A Field Guide to the Dakota Sandstone of the San Rafael Swell, Utah

by U.S. Department of the Interior and Christopher J. Schenk Mark A. Kirschbaum Paul L. Flemming

There has been a large amount of study during the last few decades on incised valley-fill deposits (for example, Dalrymple and others, 1994), and on their potential as oil and gas reservoirs (for example, Dolson and others, 1991). Surprisingly few however, have well-documented examples showing the detailed heterogeneity within ancient valley fill successions. Even rarer are studies of valley fills that have large proportions of fluvial strata within them, as most have a significant proportion of estuarine facies.
