Facies analysis and depositional environment identification of the Vin field was evaluated through the integration and comparison of results from wireline logs, core analysis, seismic data, ditch cutting samples and petrophysical parameters. Well log suites from 22 wells comprising gamma ray, resistivity, neutron, density, seismic data, and ditch cutting samples were obtained and analyzed. Prediction of depositional environment was made through the usage of wireline log shapes of facies combined with result from cores and ditch cuttings sample description. The aims of this study were to identify the facies and depositional environments of the D-3 reservoir sand in the Vin field. Two sets of correlations were made on the E-W trend to validate the reservoir top and base while the isopach map was used to establish the reservoir continuity. Facies analysis was carried out to identify the various depositional environments. The result showed that the reservoir is an elongate , four way dip closed roll over anticline associated with an E-W trending growth fault and contains two structural high separated by a saddle. The offshore bar unit is an elongate sand body with length: width ratio of >3:1 and is aligned parallel to the coast-line. Analysis of the gamma ray logs indicated that four log facies were recognized in all the wells used for the study. These include: Funnel-shaped (coarsening upward sequences), bell-shaped or fining upward sequences, the bow shape and irregular shape. Based on these categories of facies, the depositional environments were interpreted as deltaic distributaries, regressive barrier bars, reworked offshore bars and shallow marine. Analysis of the wireline logs and their core/ditch cuttings description has led to the conclusion that the reservoir sandstones of the Agbada Formation in the Vin field of the eastern Niger Delta is predominantly marine deltaic sequence, strongly influenced by clastic output from the Niger Delta. Deposition occurred in a variety of littoral and neritic environment ranging from barrier sand complex to fully marine outer shelf mudstones.

To understand microfacies, depositional environment and geochemistry of Upper Permian rocks in Alborz region, the type sections of Ruteh Formation were studied. During the Permian, the Alborz region was a part of the east-west trending Paleotethys sea. Stratigraphic studies indicate that the Ruteh Formation in Ruteh section is composed of thin to massive limestone, argillaceous limestone interbedded with shale, is overlain by distinct laterite horizon of the Elika Formation and is underlain by the disconformity by the Dorud Formation. Facies analysis and petrographic studies led to the recognition of 11 microfacies in Ruteh section. These facies were deposited in 4 facies belts such as tidal flat, lagoon, shoal and open marine sub-environment. The Permian calcareous algae in the Ruteh Formation are widespread and well documented to determine the environment and microfacies of Permian deposits. Cementation and dolomitization are the main diagenetic processes in Ruteh Formation. Based on petrographic (size and fabric) studies, 4 dolomite types such as dolomicrite, dolomicrospar, dolospar, and dolomite cement were recognized. Seawater was the main source of Mg for early diagenetic dolomite (type 1), while Mg for late diagenetic dolomite (types 2,3,4) probably were sourced by shale pressing processes and pressure solution. Major and minor element studies led to there cognition of aragonite mineralogy. The geochemical study illustrates that these carbonates were affected mostly by meteoric diagenesis, which is occurred in a semi-close to open diagenetic system.

The facies analysis of the Eocene limestones in the Aghioi Pantes section in central Zakynthos, part of the Preapulian carbonate sequence in the greater area, showed three megafacies types: a) graded beds, in which two main subtypes have been recognized, medium- to thin-bedded calcarenites-calcilutites and thick-bedded ruditic calcarenites, consisting mainly of redeposited shallow-water carbonate sands (mostly bioclasts of nummulites and echinoids); based on their sedimentary structures they have been interpreted as low density turbidite and high density turbidite (or sandy debris flows) deposits correspondingly, b) calcareous conglomerates consisting of shallow-water facies lithoclasts and abundant pelagic intraclasts all of which have been interpreted as debris flow deposits and c) folded strata of pelagic-hemipelagic composition that have been interpreted as slumps. Subsequently, the studied limestones constitute exclusively deep-water resedimented facies having been deposited mainly through sediment gravity flows, carrying significant amounts of shallow-water bio- lithoclastic material. The distribution and the organization of this facies association, with the dominance in particular of the base cut-out turbidites, suggest as depositional environment of the studied Eocene limestones a "low" in the outer slope connecting the Preapulian platform with the adjacent Ionian basin.
