Managing clastic reservoir heterogeneity I: Sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy of the Late Triassic Minjur Sandstone at the Khashm al Khalta type locality, Central Saudi Arabia

Abstract: The Late Triassic (Norian–Rhaetian) Minjur Sandstone provides a remarkable case study for understanding and modelling the spatial distribution of sand bodies in a fluvial-deltaic system. As such it has been studied in connection with the geological storage of CO2 in complex heterogeneous formations. Detailed sedimentological mapping of the formation’s vertical and lateral variations in and around the type section at Khashm al Khalta (Khashm al Minjur), which is the area of interpreted maximum inlet/outlet acti… Show more

“…The base of Sequence 4 truncates Sequence 3 and partially Sequence 2 of the Minjur Sandstone as a north-dipping surface observed in the field and modelled (EathVision ® 3D, Figure 3b) by B. Issautier and Y. M. Le Nindre in 2011[annex work to Issautier, 2011. Issautier et al [2019] thus assigned the MFS Tr80 to the early Middle Norian R. wigginsii beds, widespread on both sides of the Qatar Arch as shown by their figure 16 after Stewart et al [2016]. It matches the Alaunian 1 ages obtained in Part I of our study, on top of the Jilh Formation and at the base of the Minjur Sandstone northwards of 25°30 ′ N, from ammonoids and from the conodonts Ancyrogondolella praeslovakensis, and Epigondolella abneptis in several sections.…”

“…A comparable Rhaetian to Early Jurassic transgression can be identified in Kuwait [Kadar et al, 2015]. Issautier et al [2012aIssautier et al [ , 2019 explain the different extents of the R. wigginsii and R. rhaetica transgressions by modified paleogeographic settings. A flatter landscape with tidal flats during Early-Mid Norian enabled retrogradation of R. wigginsii marine facies to more proximal settings.…”
