Reservoir quality of fluvial sandstone reservoirs in salt-walled mini-basins: an example from the Seagull field, Central Graben, North Sea, UK (2018)
Journal Article
Stricker, S., Jones, S. J., Meadows, N., & Bowen, L. (2018). Reservoir quality of fluvial sandstone reservoirs in salt-walled mini-basins: an example from the Seagull field, Central Graben, North Sea, UK. Petroleum Science, 15(1), 1-27. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12182-017-0206-x

The Triassic fluvial sandstones of the Skagerrak Formation were deposited in a series of salt-walled mini-basins and act as important hydrocarbon reservoirs for several high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) fields in the Central Graben, North Sea. T... Read More about Reservoir quality of fluvial sandstone reservoirs in salt-walled mini-basins: an example from the Seagull field, Central Graben, North Sea, UK.

The role played by carbonate cementation in controlling reservoir quality of the Triassic Skagerrak Formation, Norway (2017)
Journal Article
Cui, Y., Jones, S. J., Saville, C., Stricker, S., Wang, G., Tang, L., …Chen, J. (2017). The role played by carbonate cementation in controlling reservoir quality of the Triassic Skagerrak Formation, Norway. Marine and Petroleum Geology, 85, 316-331. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2017.05.020

Anomalously high porosities up to 30% at burial depth of >3000 m along with varying amounts and types of carbonate cements occur in the fluvial channel sandstone facies of the Triassic Skagerrak Formation, Central Graben, Norway. However, porosities... Read More about The role played by carbonate cementation in controlling reservoir quality of the Triassic Skagerrak Formation, Norway.

Overpressure preventing quartz cementation? - A reply (2016)
Journal Article
Stricker, S., Jones, S., & Sathar, S. (2017). Overpressure preventing quartz cementation? - A reply. Marine and Petroleum Geology, 79, 337-339. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2016.10.024

Chemical compaction and the relative importance of the pressure dissolution and illite-mica induced dissolution (IMID) models have remained a contentious issue, as is the role played by stress in chemical compaction. This paper offers further support... Read More about Overpressure preventing quartz cementation? - A reply.

Importance of vertical effective stress for reservoir quality in the Skagerrak Formation, Central Graben, North Sea (2016)
Journal Article

The complex fluvial sandstones of the Triassic Skagerrak Formation of the Central Graben area, North Sea, provide a number of prolific high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) hydrocarbon reservoirs. The reservoir sandstones comprise fine to medium-grai... Read More about Importance of vertical effective stress for reservoir quality in the Skagerrak Formation, Central Graben, North Sea.

Exceptional reservoir quality in HPHT reservoir settings: examples from the Skagerrak Formation of the Heron Cluster, UK, North Sea (2016)
Journal Article
Stricker, S., Jones, S., Sathar, S., Bowen, L., & Oxtoby, N. (2016). Exceptional reservoir quality in HPHT reservoir settings: examples from the Skagerrak Formation of the Heron Cluster, UK, North Sea. Marine and Petroleum Geology, 77, 198-215. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2016.02.003

As the exploration of hydrocarbons moves into more complex and deeper basinal settings the need to understand the effect of high temperatures and high pressures on reservoir quality and rock properties becomes even more important. The fluvial channel... Read More about Exceptional reservoir quality in HPHT reservoir settings: examples from the Skagerrak Formation of the Heron Cluster, UK, North Sea.

Enhanced porosity preservation by pore fluid overpressure and chlorite grain coatings in the Triassic Skagerrak, Central Graben, North Sea, UK (2016)
Journal Article
Stricker, S., & Jones, S. (2016). Enhanced porosity preservation by pore fluid overpressure and chlorite grain coatings in the Triassic Skagerrak, Central Graben, North Sea, UK. Geological Society Special Publications, 435, 321-341. https://doi.org/10.1144/sp435.4

Current understanding of porosity preservation in deeply buried sandstone reservoirs tends to be focused on how diagenetic grain coatings of clay minerals and microquartz can inhibit macroquartz cementation. However, the importance of overpressure de...
