Stratigraphic Architecture of a Sand-Rich, Deep-Sea Depositional System: The Stevens Sandstone, San Joaquin Basin, California (Pacific Seciton AAPG ... (Pacific Seciton AAPG Publication ; MP-47)

This volume was created at the request and with the underwriting of Norske Conoco (Stavanger) and the Conoco Predictive Stratigraphy Group (Houston) . It was done in response to their inability to find a published basinwide synthesis of the Stevens Sandstone system since G.W. Webb's excellent and often-cited Stevens paper in the 1981 AAPG Bulletin. A synthesis of the Stevens system was warranted, especially because of significant advances in interpreting deep-water reservoir systems, greatly improved seismic technology, and because much post-1981 information resides in unpublished dissertations and provincial literature that is not widely available.co-published with the Pacific Section of AAPG American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) Founded in 1917, AAPG is the world's largest professional geological society.
