Testing the Multi Point Statistic Modelling Approach Using Outcrop Data
2011
The island of Favignana provides an exceptional three-dimensional insight of the internal
architecture of a Lower Pleistocene complex bioclastic calcarenitic wedge. Field data indicate
that these calcarenites consist of foramol association, originated during cool to temperate
water conditions in a high-energy, storm dominated, open shelf environment. Predominant
sedimentary structures vary from small-scale trough cross bedding, large foresets to large
scours filled by structureless massive bioclastic material. Overall a main transport direction to
the SE indicates the prograding nature of these deposits.
Based on the sedimentological characteristics and reservoir properties, this sedimentary
complex is believed to be a relevant analogue for several important hydrocarbon fields
worldwide in North Africa, Middle East and South America such as the Perla Field in
Venezuela.
