Outcrop examples of clastic tidal facies and their subsurface analogues

An Atlas to Support Stratigraphic and Sedimentological Interpretations in Field Development and Reservoir Evaluations

The understanding of clastic tidally-influenced or tidally-dominated reservoirs is becoming more relevant since the discovery of major oil and gas fields which largely consist of fluvio-tidal reservoirs. Evaluating the time and space related geometrical properties of tidal sanbodies and the occurrences of permeability barriers are some of the important aspects in field development and reservoir characterization. Enres has a very long R&D experience in clastic tidal facies and has a very extensive database. We have also applied successfully the results of our in-house tidal research in several field development and reservoir studies.

Enres is now offering the petroleum industry a compilation of the extensive outcrop database, together with examples from the subsurface. This compilation will be presented in a pictorial atlas. The images from outcrops and cores can be used as references in core descriptions. In addition, core simulations will be made from the Oosterschelde construction pit outcrops (approx. 15 m below sea level).
The atlas will also contain parameters for calstic tidal facies modelling related to sea level fluctuations and sediment flux.
