Provides an extraordinary case study of a classic marine petroleum system in the prolific oil basins of California. Based on results from the Cooperative Monterey Organic Chemistry Study, the volume examines paleoenvironmental conditions, organic-matter deposition, source-rock characteristics, thermal maturation, and oil generation in the Monterey Formation.

Abstract: Paleobathymetric position, rates of primary production and detrital input play an important role in determining the sedimentologic character of the highly heterogeneous Miocene Monterey Formation. Although many studies have documented the vertical succession of compositionally distinct lithostratigraphic members, only a few have investigated lateral variability within fine-grained facies. Here, we present a detailed examination of core and modern well logs over an interval within the McDonald and Antelope members of the Monterey Formation to understand the sedimentological relationships and lateral variation of organic matter, biogenic-silica and detritus in the Belridge oil field area of the San Joaquin Basin. This work characterizes significant lateral variation well within the length of a standard horizontal well (5,000’ to 10,000’ ft). A better understanding of thickness and compositional lateral variation in fine-grained systems has practical applications ranging from field exploration and reserve estimates to operational optimization in geosteering, drilling and completions.

This field trip guidebook uses the Miocene Monterey Formation as a natural laboratory to understand the origin, distribution and physical properties of biogenic, siliceous and organic-rich mudrocks deposited from clastic-starved, upwelling systems above marginal marine basins. Based on a successful week-long, professional short-course led for many years by the authors, the guidebook teaches how to distinguish types of siliceous, calcareous/dolomitic, phosphatic and organic-rich rocks and to understand relationships between depositional environment, sediment and rock composition, diagenetic evolution, and bedding style or stacking patterns. Knowledge of the chemical and mineralogic character and the physical properties of these rocks is then applied to understand variations in mechanical stratigraphy and fracture architecture that can enhance prediction of petroleum reservoir properties.The field guide takes the user to spectacular, classic outcrops of different facies of the Miocene Monterey Formation exposed along the coast of southern and central California. The great heterogeneity of the Monterey Formation permits investigation of siliceous, calcareous, phosphatic and carbonaceous mudrocks and their different properties and deformational behavior that can be applied to other mudstones around the world. Their occurrence within a complex and varied tectonically active setting provides exposures that presenting different aspects, perspectives and styles of deformation from extension to compression to strike-slip faulting, with bedding-scale to formational-scale expressions.
