Re-evaluation of the porosity measurements under different confining pressures: a better appraisal of reservoir porosity (2018)
Journal Article

Porosity is one of the most important rock properties in describing hydrocarbon reservoirs. Tests on core samples provide direct and representative porosity data and the measurement of porosity at high confining pressures is recognized to correlate w...

Vertical effective stress as a control on quartz cementation in sandstones (2018)
Journal Article

Temperature-controlled precipitation kinetics has become the overwhelmingly dominant hypothesis for the control of quartz cementation in sandstones. Here, we integrate quantitative petrographic data, high spatial resolution oxygen isotope analyses of... Read More about Vertical effective stress as a control on quartz cementation in sandstones.

Pore pressure and reservoir quality evolution in the deep Taranaki Basin, New Zealand (2018)
Journal Article

The Palaeocene fluvial to shallow marine sandstones of the Farewell Formation are an important proven hydrocarbon reservoir in the Taranaki Basin, New Zealand. The Kapuni Deep-1 well was drilled to target Farewell Formation sandstones in the deeper o... Read More about Pore pressure and reservoir quality evolution in the deep Taranaki Basin, New Zealand.

Diagenetic and geochemical studies of the Buchan Formation (Upper Devonian) in the Central North Sea (2018)
Journal Article

The Upper Devonian Buchan Formation reservoirs in the UK Central North Sea are litharenite/sublitharenite and were deposited in fluvial–aeolian settings. The grain-coating clays in the aeolian sandstones have effectively inhibited quartz overgrowth....

Porosity preservation due to grain coating illite/smectite: Evidence from Buchan Formation (Upper Devonian) of the Ardmore Field, UK North Sea (2018)
Journal Article

The Buchan Formation sandstone reservoirs from the Ardmore Field in the UK Central North Sea are fluvial-aeolian deposits and provide examples of porosity preservation in deeply-buried reservoirs (2.7–3.2 km) caused by grain-coating illite/smectite (...

Argyll Field: the first oil field to be developed on the UK Continental Shelf (2018)

Gluyas, J., Tang, L., & Jones, S. (2018). Argyll Field: the first oil field to be developed on the UK Continental Shelf. In J. Craig, F. Gerali, F. Macaulay, & R. Sorkhabi (Eds.), History of the European oil and gas industry (77-93). The Geological Society. https://doi.org/10.1144/sp465.3

In June 1975, oil from the Argyll Field became the first to be produced from the UK North Sea. Seventeen years later, the Argyll Field was abandoned with all production facilities removed. In 2001, two new companies, Acorn Oil & Gas and Tuscan Energy... Read More about Argyll Field: the first oil field to be developed on the UK Continental Shelf.

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

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.
