Fault and fracture distribution within a tight-gas sandstone reservoir: Mesaverde Group, Mamm Creek Field, Piceance Basin, Colorado, USA 30 Jul 2013 | 08:50 pm

The distribution and orientation of faults, fracture intensity and seismic-reflection characteristics of the Mesaverde Group (Williams Fork and Iles formations) at Mamm Creek Field vary stratigraphica...

Overpressure distributions in Palaeogene reservoirs of the UK Central North Sea and implications for lateral and vertical fluid flow 30 Jul 2013 | 08:50 pm

Overpressure distributions within the Paleocene Forties, Cromarty and Eocene Tay sandstones in the Central North Sea have been compiled to gain better insight into hydrocarbon migration pathways. Drai...

Sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy of the Middle-Upper Jurassic Krossfjord and Fensfjord formations, Troll Field, northern North Sea 30 Jul 2013 | 08:50 pm

The Middle–Upper Jurassic Krossfjord and Fensfjord formations are secondary reservoir targets in the super-giant Troll oil and gas field, Horda Platform, offshore Norway. The formations comprise sands...

The potential role of igneous intrusions on hydrocarbon migration, West of Shetland 30 Jul 2013 | 08:50 pm

Numerous challenges for petroleum exploration exist within basins containing sequences of intrusive and extrusive rocks, ranging from seismic imaging to drilling. One poorly understood element in deal...

Development of intra-basaltic lava-field drainage systems within the Faroe-Shetland Basin 30 Jul 2013 | 08:50 pm

The Faroe–Shetland Basin, located on the NW continental shelf of the UK, represents arguably the last frontier area of hydrocarbon exploration of the UK territorial waters. The basin contains an aeria...

Building Bayesian networks from basin-modelling scenarios for improved geological decision making 30 Jul 2013 | 08:50 pm

Basin models are used to gain insights about a petroleum system, and to simulate geological processes required to form oil and gas accumulations. The focus of such simulations is usually on charge and...

The petrophysics of shale gas reservoirs: Technical challenges and pragmatic solutions 17 May 2013 | 09:03 pm

The host rocks of shale gas accumulations act as source, seal and reservoir. They are characterized by complex pore systems with ultra-low to low interparticle permeability and low to moderate porosit...

Quantification of hydrodynamic effects on capillary seal capacity 17 May 2013 | 09:03 pm

Whether a reduction in overpressure across a hydrocarbon column and its seal will reduce the column height that the seal is capable of supporting has been much debated. Recent studies have focused on ...

Recovery efficiency from a turbidite sheet system: numerical simulation of waterflooding using outcrop-based geological models 17 May 2013 | 09:03 pm

A series of waterflood simulations were performed to investigate the effect of basinal position and facies permeability within a turbidite sheet system on oil recovery efficiency. Simulations used thr...
