SUMMARY: Deepwater systems host some of the world& rsquo\;s most prolific oil and gas accumulations in both
conventional a nd unconventional reservoirs. Sedimentation in these environments reflects the
interaction of gravitational flows, suspension fallout, and bottom currents. Coarse-grained reservoirs are
commonly attributed to gravita tional processes, while mud-rich systems are typically explained by a
c ombination of gravity-driven transport and suspension settling. In contras t, the influence of bottom
currents, or &ldquo\;contour currents&rdquo\ ; remains comparatively underdescribed, despite their widespread
presen ce in modern oceans and their likely significance in the ancient rock reco rd.

This course will review the spectrum of basinal sedimentation p rocesses, with a particular focus on
bottom currents&mdash\;examining t heir driving mechanisms and the sedimentary profiles and depositional
p atterns they generate. Emphasis will be placed on examples from the Permia n Basin, supplemented by
global analogs. Participants will be introduce d to core- and regional-scale features diagnostic of bottomcurrent influen ce in slope and basinal settings, along with discussion of their potential impacts on
reservoir distribution and quality. Using Permian Basin cas e studies, the course will also highlight the
importance of paleogeogra phic reconstructions and sequence-stratigraphic context in controlling dee pwater circulation patterns, helping to explain subsurface anomalies and i dentify possible exploration
opportunities. \;
