英文摘要Siliciclastic turbidite systems that pinch out updip toward their proximal margin are prime targets for hydrocarbon exploration, especially in deep-water basins. Such "upslope stratigraphic traps"potentially offer large-volume discoveries but have significant geological risks, notably because of ineffective closure or containment. In the published literature, at least 20 fields from 11 basins globally with 6-7 billion BOE of cumulative discovered reserves have been inferred to be reliant on upslope pinchout traps. These fields are reviewed in terms of their interpreted trapping styles, pinch-out formation process, and depositionaltectonic setting. Reservoirs display a range of upslope trapping styles, including pure (depositional and erosional) stratigraphic pinch-outs and combined stratigraphic-structural traps. In one-third of cases, faulting appears intimately linked to updip trapping, either through offsetting slope feeder conduits or assisting pinch-out development, and in some cases, faulting may be the most important updip trapping element. Sediment bypass and erosion in proximal areas is the most common inferred pinch-out formation mechanism. Some reservoirs also demonstrate the ability of erosional truncation by mud-prone channels and mass transport deposits to form viable stratigraphic traps and seals. Encouragingly for exploration, robust pinchout traps occur in various tectonic settings on a variety of different slope types and positions along the slope profile.Most large-volume discoveries to date, however, are restricted to the toe-of-slope environment in graded passive margins or out-of-grade rift and transform margin settings. Insights into the nature and occurrence of upslope stratigraphic traps are important for future exploration, especially for evaluating new license areas and risking prospects. © 2019 The American Association of Petroleum Geologists.
