Deep water of Niger delta Siliciclastic Plays Tutlle et al/99 Amazonas Delta - type Canyon-dominated(?): Structural zoning towards deeper waters: -zone of rollovers w/ith listric faults (some resembling flower strucutures) -zone of shale diapirs -zone of toe thrust -zone of foreocean (equivalent to foreland) 54
Traditional Delta Types River-dominated Wave-dominated Tide-dominated Amazon River Delta =Non-traditional Canyon-dominated (submarine) delta (?) 55
Amazon River delta- Canyon-dominated (submarine) delta (?) Canyon = predominantly by-pass zone Sedimentation at canyon mouth in deep water - Delta plain/delta front poorly developed, as opposed to Niger Delta - Canyonite deposition under onlap ( transgressive tract and initial highstand) and offlap conditions ( late highstand and lowstand in Type 2 sequences) 56
Amazonas River Delta- Canyon-dominated (submarine) delta (?) Foz do Amazonas canyon: Depositional/erosional type Built under highstand and lowstand Highstand- by depositional thinning in relation to adjacent platforms Amapá and Ilha de Santana /Pará Lowstand - by erosion Multi-episodic process active probably since Paleocene 57
Amazonas Cone prospects Traditionally apex of rollover strucutures associated with listric faults (Ex- Pirapema). In general very fine and silty sands. Thicker and better reservoirs must be found at canyon mouths in sindepositional lows. The recognition of these lows can be difficult if affected by argillokinesis 58
