Mass Transport Complex (MTC)-Controlled Sand Deposition: A Case Study from Offshore Brunei

Mass transport complexes (MTCs) are one of the major geologic features observed in many deepwater provinces. MTCs commonly occur in the slope and basin floor settings and are broadly characterised based on their internal characteristics and external morphological features. This set of guideline was used quite practically in describing the recent Brunei Mega MTC though in much larger scale and will be utilised to describe older MTCs as observed in the area of study. MTCs appear to be in control for the overlying sandstone deposition and it is one of the key factors in delivering sands further into the basin floor.
