Influence of the main factors on the conditions of formation of the achimov formation

Abstract

Western Siberia is a unique geological area for testing different approaches of sequential stratigraphy and their impact on deep-sea sediment architecture. There are many different various techniques allow us to reduce geological uncertainty and predict distribution and architecture of deep-water sediments. The architecture of deepwater sediments is influenced by the basin topography and volume of sediment supply. In this paper the main factors and their influence on the deep-water sediments accumulation will be considered. This approach was used for prediction distribution and quality of deep-water sediments in poorly studied areas. Progradation and retrogradation trends, topography of basin floor and shelf`s edge trajectorywere analyzed to determine an effect. Based on empirical estimation, it has been determined that the most important factor is the trajectory of change of shelf`s edge and topography. There was no apparent correlation between the quality of deep-water sediments and the amount of volume sediment supply. All of this data and correlation was used for estimation potential of the achimov formation in poorly studied areas.
