Sedimentology and reservoir quality<\/h1>\n

Sedimentological approach to reservoir quality (SedResQ) is a research group at The University of Manchester. The group is working on a range of topics revolving around a central theme of linking sedimentological process understanding of deep-water sediment gravity flows to reservoir quality and its distribution in deep-marine sedimentary systems.<\/p>\n

Our approach integrates petrophysical, petrological, sedimentological and architectural-scale datasets to generate geological models for reservoir quality distribution in deep-marine settings.<\/p>\n

For enquiries in this area, contact Ian Kane<\/a>. To find more details of researchers across the Basins group, see the People page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Currently we are working in several outcropping turbidite systems, including the Annot Sandstone (France), the Rosario Fm. (Mexico), Skoorsteenberg Fm. (S. Africa), Carboniferous of County Clare (Ireland), Aberystwyth Grits (Wales). We are also working with several subsurface datasets, including from Taranaki Basin (New Zealand), Block 2 Tanzania, and the Central Graben, North Sea (UK).<\/p>\n
