Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
| To develop a critical understanding of how sandstone and carbonate reservoir porosity and permeability in the subsurface is influenced by sedimentological effects of grainsize and sorting. To develop a detailed understanding of the effects of compaction, cementation and dissolution. This knowledge will be integrated with geological setting, basin modelling, geochemical measurements and petrological measurements which are both the principal and the special skills employed to asses the quality of a reservoir. The assessment via a critical essay will enable students to showcase their detailed understanding of a specific topic and, in this exercise, they will be encouraged to offer professional level interpretations of forefront developments. |
Assessment Information
| Write a critically argued essay, on the subject specified at the end of the course. You should use the digital library resources and paper publications held in the Library at KB. This should be no more than 4 sides of A4, including references and diagrams. |
