“…Most gas-producing fields in The Netherlands are situated in reservoirs formed by mixed aeolian and fluvial deposits of the Permian Upper Rotliegend Group. Since the discovery and development of the giant Groningen gas field (in 1959), the Rotliegend gas play is now considered a very mature play (EBN 2017). Ongoing production of many fields towards and into the tail end of their production life has made apparent that discrepancies between the static and dynamic volumes are observed.…”

Permian Rotliegend reservoir rocks are generally characterized by high net/gross (N/G) ratios, and faults in such sand-dominated lithologies are typically not considered likely to seal. Nevertheless, many examples of membrane sealing are present in Rotliegend gas fields in the Southern Permian Basin. This manuscript reviews examples of membrane sealing in the Dutch Rotliegend; it presents an extensive dataset of petrophysical properties of Rotliegend fault rocks and analyses two case studies using commonly used workflows. Fault (membrane) seal studies have been carried out on two Rotliegend fields to test the level of confidence and uncertainty of prediction of 'across fault pressure differences' (AFPD) based on existing SGR-based algorithms. From the field studies it is concluded that observable small AFPDs are present and that these are likely pre-production AFPDs due to exploration-time scale trapping and retention of hydrocarbons. Two shale gouge ratio (SGR)-based empirical algorithms have been used here to estimate AFPDs in lower N/G reservoir intervals with the aim of predicting membrane seal behaviour, and these results are compared to field data. It is concluded the selected SGR-based tools predict AFPD for Upper Rotliegend lower N/G reservoir rocks with reasonable results. Nonetheless, the core sample datasets show a much wider range of permeability and capillary entry pressure than predicted by the selected SGR transforms. This highlights the potential to modify existing workflows for application to faults in high N/G lithologies. Data sharing and collaboration between industry and academics is encouraged, so that in the long run workflows can be developed specifically for faults in high N/G lithologies.

As the world progressively shifts to a low/neutral carbon economy over the course of the 21 st Century, geoscience will continue to play a vital role in the energy sector and beyond. Static and dynamic characterisation of the subsurface, a key component of the petroleum industry for decades, will be required to evaluate and unlock a variety of different initiatives including carbon, capture and storage (CCS), hydrogen (or any other gas) storage, thermal energy storage and geothermal energy development. Onshore and offshore Ireland and Great Britain, Lower Triassic sandstones are likely to represent one of the primary geological targets for future geoenergy applications. This paper provides a review of the Triassic Sherwood Sandstone Group depositional system across the British and Irish region of NW Europe including its overall stratigraphic context, paleogeography, sediment provenance and transport directions, and present-day distribution. In addition to geological outcrop data, there is a wealth of subsurface data available from historical petroleum wells. Looking forward, one important focus of geoscience research will be to extrapolate away from these well-defined control points to predict sandstone facies distribution, diagenetic history and hence overall reservoir quality in new undrilled areas that will be of interest to the geothermal, CCS and gas storage sectors.
