Student volunteer opportuniti es are available and encouraged.

SUMMARY: Deepwate r systems host some of the world&rsquo\;s most prolific oil and gas accumu lations in both
conventional and unconventional reservoirs. Sedimentati on in these environments reflects the
interaction of gravitational flow s, suspension fallout, and bottom currents. Coarse-grained reservoirs are< br>commonly attributed to gravitational processes, while mud-rich systems are typically explained by a
combination of gravity-driven transport an d suspension settling. In contrast, the influence of bottom
currents, o r &ldquo\;contour currents&rdquo\; remains comparatively underdescribed, d espite their widespread
presence in modern oceans and their likely sign ificance in the ancient rock record.

This course will review the sp ectrum of basinal sedimentation processes, with a particular focus on
b ottom currents&mdash\;examining their driving mechanisms and the sedimenta ry profiles and depositional
patterns they generate. Emphasis will be p laced on examples from the Permian Basin, supplemented by
global analog s. Participants will be introduced to core- and regional-scale features di agnostic of bottomcurrent influence in slope and basinal settings, along w ith discussion of their potential impacts on
reservoir distribution and quality. Using Permian Basin case studies, the course will also highlight the
importance of paleogeographic reconstructions and sequence-stratig raphic context in controlling deepwater circulation patterns, helping to e xplain subsurface anomalies and identify possible exploration
opportuni ties. \;
