Charlotte Priddy (University of Derby) – Dryland Fluvial Systems

Dryland fluvial systems exhibit interesting sedimentary facies and the spatial extents and downstream variations in sedimentary architecture can be quantified. However, reservoir models capturing the detail and variations of these depositional systems are limited. In this lecture we will travel (virtually) to the southwestern USA to examine the Lower Jurassic Kayenta Formation and investigate how the detailed sedimentary architecture of this dryland fluvial system can affect reservoir characterisation and fluid migration for CO₂ storage.
