  Ten week TAQA secondment. Worked in the Harding Field team on the subsurface evaluation of future in-field drilling opportunities and well planning. This included the preparation of well proposal documents, a detailed Well Tops Study throughout the greater Harding area and compiling the Life of Field documents for future in-field drilling opportunities.

  The East Shetland Basin is a superb natural laboratory in which to study the role that normal fault growth and linkage has in determining petroleum prospectivity. Use of several high density 3D seismic volumes and over 250 boreholes permits key aspects of the Late Jurassic rift and its Permo-Triassic precursor to be analysed and its role on hydrocarbon exploration. The regional interpretation has revealed the generation of a North Sea archipelago of Upper Jurassic islands, the role of relay ramps in controlling syn-rift sediment dispersal patterns and the impact of normal faults of the later episode crossing and offsetting those generated by the earlier phase. The uplift, erosion and meteoric flushing of Upper Jurassic and older strata within the exposed fault blocks could potentially have huge consequences for the Brent play by enhancing reservoir properties and hence, help identify new play opportunities down-dip of major structures. Fault control on sediment dispersal can also be documented in a more localized study on the Cladhan Field, the site of a pronounced basin-margin relay ramp. This recent discovered set of syn-rift density flows illustrates how the development and distribution of depositional gradients and transport pathways form subtle play types. The Cladhan area is just one of several locations throughout the East Shetland Basin where the interaction of multiple rift phases is influential in the structural feedback after the Upper Jurassic rifting event. The delicate interaction and reactivation of underlying structural trends creates a series of multi-tiered fault block systems which can define several aspects of a petroleum system, depending upon the strike, polarity and level of reactivation of faults from one rift to another. The observations of fault growth and linkage in the Northern North Sea may provide generic lessons that help in determining petroleum prospectivity in other hydrocarbon rift basins. Show less

  Internship focusing on the Central North Sea Catcher Field. The focus of this regional project was centred around the petroleum system and evolution of the Central North Sea Catcher Field. The Catcher Field and surrounding areas were analysed using a series of 3D seismic volumes and up to 10 wells. With the development of Sea-Bed Tertiary channels and Permian salt features, a detailed depth conversion was crucial to negotiate the resulting seismic artefacts. The results were used to identify further prospectivity at varying stratigraphic levels for future licence rounds. This study aligned with Cairns’ business acquisitions following the recent investment surrounding the field. Show less
