Abstract

[Highlights

  • A stratigraphic framework is presented of Middle to Lave Devonian shelfal marine strata of Western Canada.
  • Outcrop studies are extrapolated to subsurface frameworks using well and seismic data.
  • The results allow understanding between carbonate, clastic and mud deposition in low latitude settings.
  • Predictive models can be used for subsurface predictions for basin architecture and resource exploitation.

, ABSTRACT

Middle to Upper Devonian strata preserved in the Mackenzie Mountains and adjacent basins in the Northwest Territories, Canada, record a transgressive sequence set of shelfal marine deposits in a low latitude basin margin transitioning from drift to convergence basin phase. The interplay between shallow‐water carbonate and clastic depositional systems and offshore organic‐matter‐rich mudstone deposits is described within a chronostratigraphic and sequence stratigraphic framework. Relative rise of sealevel resulted in backstepping and flooding of a carbonate ramp by biosiliceous and organic‐matter‐rich mudstones. Steep isolated stromatoporoid carbonate platforms show rapid lateral facies transitions associated with these transgressions. At times of tectonically induced relative falls in sea level and exposure of updip carbonate deposits, clastic sediment was transported across the basin margin, resulting in the deposition of mud‐rich subaqueous clinothems. Transgression of these clinothems led to the deposition of onlapping wedges of organic‐matter‐rich mudstones. Three main sequences are developed within this overall transgressive sequence set, and these three sequences can be correlated from outcrop to subsurface, both in the adjacent Peel and Mackenzie Valley Basins as well as into the subsurface strata of the Horn River and Liard Basins, which are prolific hydrocarbon basins to the south. Each depositional system develops distinct seismic geomorphologies and allows for the mapping of favourable lithofacies belts with regard to identifying carbonate deposits (aquifers and petroleum reservoirs) and organic‐matter‐rich mudstones (source rocks and unconventional reservoirs). The workflows and regional chronostratigraphic framework may be applied to coeval deposits along the divergent and convergent margins of Laurentian and Gondwanan cratons preserved across the globe.

,

The spatial interplay between updip clastic and carbonate depositional systems and downdip detrital and biogenic mud dominated depositional systems are mapped temporally using the sequence stratigraphic method to predict the occurrence of aquifers, petroleum reservoirs and organic‐rich deposits.
