Compaction of diagenetically altered mudstones – Part 2: Implications for pore pressure estimation (2016)
Journal Article
Goulty, N., & Sargent, C. (2016). Compaction of diagenetically altered mudstones – Part 2: Implications for pore pressure estimation. Marine and Petroleum Geology, 77, 806-818. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2016.07.018

Diagenetically altered mudstones compact mechanically and chemically. Consequently, their normal compaction trends depend upon their temperature history as well as on the maximum effective stress they have experienced. A further complication is that...

Re-evaluation of the Mentelle Basin, a polyphase rifted margin basin, offshore southwest Australia: new insights from integrated regional seismic datasets (2011)
Journal Article
Maloney, D., Sargent, C., Direen, N., Hobbs, R., & Gröcke, D. (2011). Re-evaluation of the Mentelle Basin, a polyphase rifted margin basin, offshore southwest Australia: new insights from integrated regional seismic datasets. Solid Earth, 2(2), 107-123. https://doi.org/10.5194/se-2-107-2011

Vintage 2-D (two-dimensional) seismic reflection surveys from the sparsely explored Mentelle Basin (western Australian margin) have been reprocessed and integrated with a recent high-quality 2-D seismic survey and stratigraphic borehole data. Interpr... Read More about Re-evaluation of the Mentelle Basin, a polyphase rifted margin basin, offshore southwest Australia: new insights from integrated regional seismic datasets.

Improving the interpretability of air-gun seismic reflection data using deterministic filters: A case history from offshore Cape Leeuwin, south-west Australia (2011)
Journal Article
Sargent, C., Hobbs, R., & Gröcke, D. (2011). Improving the interpretability of air-gun seismic reflection data using deterministic filters: A case history from offshore Cape Leeuwin, south-west Australia. Geophysics, 76(3), B113-B125. https://doi.org/10.1190/1.3554396

To identify drilling targets for an Integrated Ocean Drilling Program project to investigate high-latitude black shales required reinterpretation of legacy seismic data. The original processing had identified the major structures but was of insuffici...

Shallow seismic reflection profiles over Permian strata affected by gypsum dissolution in NE England (2010)
Journal Article
Sargent, C., & Goulty, N. (2010). Shallow seismic reflection profiles over Permian strata affected by gypsum dissolution in NE England. Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, 43(2), 221-232. https://doi.org/10.1144/1470-9236/08-115

In north-east England, dissolution of Permian gypsum beds has caused subsidence at many localities. We report results from trial 2D profiles at five sites to evaluate the seismic reflection method as a tool for site investigation. At all five sites,...

Seismic reflection survey for investigation of gypsum dissolution and subsidence at Hell Kettles, Darlington, UK (2009)
Journal Article
Sargent, C., & Goulty, N. (2009). Seismic reflection survey for investigation of gypsum dissolution and subsidence at Hell Kettles, Darlington, UK. Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, 42(1), 31-38. https://doi.org/10.1144/1470-9236/07-071

There are thick beds of gypsum in the Permian Zechstein sequence which forms the bedrock in the Darlington area. In this area, subsidence features attributed to gypsum dissolution are typically broad shallow depressions up to 100 m in diameter, and t...
