Analysis of the impact of sedimentological heterogeneity and fractures on fluid flow properties in a deltaic reservoir setting using numerical models

Process-based numerical simulations in river delta modelling have demonstrated the importance of hydraulic and sedimentary forcing mechanisms on delta morphodynamics. Insights of these simulations on deltaic systems have a high potential to improve reservoir predictions in the industry. However, detailed morphological studies are typically...

Analysis of the effects of process variations on delta morphology and stratigraphy in Delft3D computational models

Deltaic reservoirs are of great significance in both exploration and production of oil & gas and they have aroused increasing interest during the recent years. Coastal engineering deals with sediment transport on a millisecond and micron scale, while geology deals with sequence stratigraphy on a millenary and 10-100 km scale. However, relatively...

Untangling Sea Level and Sediment Supply History of the Panther Tongue Delta, Utah, USA

The Panther Tongue is a fluvio-deltaic parasequence in the lower part of the Star Point Sandstone formation in the Wasatch Plateau, central Utah, deposited during the late Cretaceous period. The sedimentology of the Panther Tongue and adjacent beach ridges parasequence has been extensively described by Hwang & Heller (2002) and Hampson et al. ...
