Hydrocarbon prospectively in siliciclastic reservoirs is dependant on many attributes. Two key factors are: (i) a complete understanding of the geochemical character of source rock organic matter (OM) and (ii) assessing reservoir quality of the reservoir rocks. These two key factors are the primary...

| Summary: | Hydrocarbon prospectively in siliciclastic reservoirs is dependant on many attributes. Two key factors are: (i) a complete understanding of the geochemical character of source rock organic matter (OM) and (ii) assessing reservoir quality of the reservoir rocks. These two key factors are the primary focus of the research completed in this thesis. In this thesis OM types and distribution, the hydrocarbon potential, thermal maturity of source rock intervals, and the diagenetic mechanisms that control anomalously high secondary porosity in sandstone reservoir intervals from Jurassic-aged, Late-Tithonian strata of the Central Ridge and Flemish Pass Basin, offshore Newfoundland, Canada are studied. This thesis comprises an integration of petrographic analysis, geochemical programmed pyrolysis, organic petrology, and machine learning algorithms from samples taken from cores, side wall cores (SWC), and drill cuttings that intersect the Kimmeridgian-aged to Tithonian-aged sandstones, siltstones, and mudstones of the ... |
