Modelling of Sandstone Reservoir Distribution and Quality in the Scotian Basin
December 6, 2018
Few wells penetrate the deep-water parts of the Scotian Basin, whereas the numerous wells in shallower water provide a detailed record of the properties and amounts of sands deposited in deltas that have become the reservoir rocks for oil and gas. The distribution of sandstones in deep water and their quality as reservoir rocks can be assessed using numeric models that simulate the dispersion of sediment in an ancient basin. Such models are calibrated against the rock types intersected in wells and the thicknesses of geological units from seismic data, both on the shelf and in deep water.

Petroleum Systems and Source Rocks of Atlantic Canada
July 19, 2018
The research conducted at the Basin and Reservoir Lab at Dalhousie University focuses on understanding Petroleum Systems through analyses of the sequence stratigraphy, depositional environments, tectonics, geo-pressure conditions, basin modeling and the provenance of sediment in basins. Source rock is a fundamental component of petroleum systems; coupled with reservoir distribution they are the two key risk elements of the Atlantic Canada margin.
