  "term": "Depositional system",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A three-dimensional assemblage of genetically related sedimentary facies that were formed within a specific set of depositional environments. These systems link together environments that are active at the same time, such as a river (fluvial system) feeding a delta (deltaic system) which in turn builds out into a basin (marine system). The concept is used to predict the distribution and geometry of reservoir, source, and seal rocks on a basin-wide scale.",
