Summary: The Ogaden Basin in Ethiopia is a large sedimentary basin with significant potential for hydrocarbon resources. Previous studies have mainly focused on the sedimentology and lithostratigraphy of the basin, while this study provides an integrated sequence stratigraphic analysis of the Karoo section using seismic reflection and well data. The study suggests that tectonic control plays a major role in the formation of the basin and the distribution of reservoirs.

Summary: This study investigates the upper part of the upper Permian succession in the Bowen Basin of Queensland, NE Australia, and aims to determine the timeline and character of environmental changes leading up to the End-Permian Extinction. The research reveals a series of intermittent stepwise changes, including volcanic activity, cold conditions, and glaciation, in this region. In contrast, the terrestrial ecosystems show remarkable consistency during this period.

Summary: The Whitehorse Group and Quartermaster Formation in the Palo Duro Basin represent the final deposition episode of red-bed terrestrial sequences in north-central Texas. The formations comprise mainly red quartz siltstone to fine sandstone, gypsum, claystones, and dolomite. The lower Quartermaster Formation exhibits meandering channels and overbank mudstones, while the Upper Whitehorse Group lacks paleosols. Age information from volcanic ash-fall deposits suggests the presence of the Permian-Triassic boundary in the lower Quartermaster Formation/upper Whitehorse Group. Carbon and oxygen isotope data indicate changes in paleoclimate and biotic recovery across the Permian-Triassic boundary.

Summary: The study provides a refined depositional model of the Permian-Triassic alluvial rift succession in the Horda Platform area by integrating seismic and well-log data. The research highlights the influence of faulting on depocentre development and the interplay between tectonic and climatic forcing in subsurface continental deposits.

Summary: The study explores the impact of Permian-Triassic volcanism in Siberia on the end-Permian mass extinction, mainly through the release of CO2 from the interaction of coal with intrusions. The distribution of sills within coal-bearing successions in Tunguska Basin minimally influences the metamorphic grade of the coals, and explosion pipes delivering CO2 into the atmosphere likely formed after the extinction event.

Summary: This study examines the Upper Permian deposits in Iran and investigates the geological characteristics using microfacies analysis and sequence stratigraphy. The research reveals the presence of third- and fourth-order cycles and highlights the influence of tectonic activity on sedimentary environment and stratigraphic framework. Furthermore, the deepening phenomenon during the Lopingian is found to have caused changes in the fauna.

Summary: This study presents a quantitative subsurface model of geothermal reservoir facies in the Freiham geothermal field using the approach of 3D seismic attribute analysis. It is quick and straightforward, and can easily be applied in the exploration workflow for similar fields and reservoirs.

Summary: This study focused on sequence stratigraphy and seismic facies in the Central Taranaki basin, identifying four regional seismic sequences and boundaries representing unconformities. Analysis indicated a new perspective surface between the upper and lower Giant formation due to seawater encroachment. The study proposed a new sequence stratigraphy framework and discussed potential hydrocarbon accumulations, suggesting the SA-Middle Giant Formation (SEQ3) as a potential trap.

Summary: The end of the Permian in southwestern Gondwana marked a significant change in depositional context, with the last invasion of the Panthalassa Ocean and subsequent retreat, leading to desert conditions. This paper provides a detailed paleogeographic evolution of the Parana Basin's southern portion, showing a large regression with important facies shifts. The provenance zircon U-Pb analysis suggests sediment sources from the Brasiliano basement and Gondwanides mountain ridge, reflecting tectonic reorganization near the Permo-Triassic boundary.

Summary: The Dolomites is a significant region for studying the evolution of shallow-marine ecosystems during the end-Permian mass extinction. By using strontium isotope stratigraphy, the correlation between the Dolomites and the Meishan section can be established, contributing to the understanding of the biological crisis that occurred.

Summary: A multidisciplinary approach was employed to assess the depositional geometry and sequence stratigraphic architecture of a mixed carbonate-siliciclastic reservoir in Iran. The study found that the reservoir is not flat-lying as previously assumed, but has a gradient. By integrating surface and subsurface data, the distribution of sedimentary facies and sequence architecture patterns were identified.

Summary: The sedimentary successions around the Carboniferous-Permian boundary in the Ordos Basin exhibit five distinct lithofacies associations, indicating sedimentary and sequence stratigraphic responses to glaciation and volcanism. These lithofacies record regressive-transgressive cycles caused by the transcontinental glacier expansion in Gondwana around the CPB.

Summary: The Fucino Basin in central Apennines, Italy, is a major Pliocene-Quaternary non-marine 'extensional col lapse basin' bounded by seismogenic faults that generate strong earthquakes. The basin is an overall dual polarity half-graben with two separate fault-driven depocentres and progressive accumulation of throw without significant fault lengthening, suggesting a different mechanism for fault growth.

Summary: This study provides a lithostratigraphic reappraisal of the Beacon Supergroup at Allan Hills in Antarctica, revealing changes in fluvial style and the record of the end-Permian extinction event. The results are similar to studies in Eastern Australia and provide important information for understanding global changes.

Summary: This study interprets the sequence stratigraphy of the Jurassic strata in the ST gas field of the northern West Siberia Basin based on seismic facies analysis and lithology stacking patterns of wells. Four third-order sequences and nine fourth-order sequences are identified, and a sequence evolution model is built. The research provides insights for future gas exploration and exploitation in the area.
