Summary

This preliminary report is a summary of progress made during the 2006-07 field seasons reconstructing depositional systems in Tertiary strata exposed in the Homer-Kachemak Bay area.The study area addressed in this report extends from Clam Gulch in the north to Coal Cove in the south.Tertiary strata in this area are only mildly deformed and provide a relatively clear view of depositional systems and sand body geometries along the eastern basin edge and their change from basin edge to more basin axial positions.

Purpose

The work is part of a Cook Inlet basin-wide effort to reconstruct depositional systems for use as a predictive tool in oil and gas exploration.The resulting framework will provide the context for evaluating sand body geometries.
