Petrographic and diagenetic investigation of the distal Triassic 'Budleighensis fluvial system in the Solway and Carlisle Basins for potential CO2 storage
Failure to find hydrocarbon prospects in the Solway Basin region has resulted in a lack of research into the local Sherwood Sandstone Group petrography, reservoir quality and depositional history compared to the analogous southern reservoirs in the EISB which will be utilized for carbon storage. A detailed petrographic study is presented which aims to understand if the Solway Firth could have similar utility. The Permo–Triassic Sherwood Sandstone Group is believed to be deposited in depocentres connected during the Early Triassic by the extensive ‘Budleighensis’ fluvial system. Here, the Solway and Carlisle basins are proposed as terminal sites for this endorheic system, with the Lower Triassic Annan Sandstone Formation ascribed to the distal region of a fluvial distributary zone and the overlying Kirklinton Sandstone Formation thought to mark a transition to a basinal zone, depositing aeolian sandstones and locally associated playa lake facies. Fluid inclusion, stable isotope burial history modelling and field observations have been used to assess the relative timing and importance of different diagenetic cements. Early diagenetic cements include grain-rimming haematite and patchy calcite cement, especially in the Annan Sandstone Formation. Later burial diagenesis sees further calcite cement, quartz overgrowths and, restricted to the Kirklinton Sandstone Formation, ferroan dolomite. Porosity and permeability show significant differences between fluvial Annan and aeolian Kirklinton facies associations. Despite the finer grain size, a reservoir with excellent porosity and permeability as well as no hydrocarbon charging or legacy hydrocarbon extraction is persevered, suggesting the Solway Basin could be a secure CO2 storage site.

期刊介绍:
Petroleum Geoscience is the international journal of geoenergy and applied earth science, and is co-owned by the Geological Society of London and the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE).
Petroleum Geoscience transcends disciplinary boundaries and publishes a balanced mix of articles covering exploration, exploitation, appraisal, development and enhancement of sub-surface hydrocarbon resources and carbon repositories. The integration of disciplines in an applied context, whether for fluid production, carbon storage or related geoenergy applications, is a particular strength of the journal. Articles on enhancing exploration efficiency, lowering technological and environmental risk, and improving hydrocarbon recovery communicate the latest developments in sub-surface geoscience to a wide readership.
Petroleum Geoscience provides a multidisciplinary forum for those engaged in the science and technology of the rock-related sub-surface disciplines. The journal reaches some 8000 individual subscribers, and a further 1100 institutional subscriptions provide global access to readers including geologists, geophysicists, petroleum and reservoir engineers, petrophysicists and geochemists in both academia and industry. The journal aims to share knowledge of reservoir geoscience and to reflect the international nature of its development.
