Current work concentrates on outcrop and sub-surface research.
Outcrop-based studies of bed thickness, continuity, sedimentology and petrophysical properties, are designed to provide a better understanding of reservoir geometry and variability, and are linked to producing fields and production data where possible. Subsurface studies integrate well log, petrophysical and seismic data to reservoir facies. The research is largely FRST funded within the basin studies and petroleum potential programme.
