f A Novel Geochemical Correlation Technique - Application to a Turbidite Reservoir

Three cores in a Tertiary deep marine reservoir succession from the UKCS have been analysed using trace element geochemistry and petrography in order to: 1) assess the broad relationships between the wells, 2) to produce a high resolution reservoir zonation scheme and 3) to make correlations where appropriate. The trace element geochemical technique, developed at the University of Aberdeen, is based upon the presence of characteristic immobile trace elements in certain heavy mineral species.
