Scotland's Earth resources, which include minerals, hydrocarbons, water and hydro energy,
have for many centuries provided a driver for population and economic growth. The nature …

Fluvial deposits create significant hydrocarbon reservoirs, although their characterisation
can be difficult due to their differing scales of heterogeneity. Whilst numerical modelling …

Architectural elements of fluvial multi-storey sandbodies provide principal controls on the
distribution of meso-scale (10 0–10 1 m scale) heterogeneity and reservoir quality …

Fault architecture and fracture network evolution (and resulting bulk hydraulic properties)
are highly dependent on the mechanical properties of the rocks at the time the structures …

Two decades of geological modelling have resulted in the ability to study single-well
geological models at a sufficiently high resolution to generate synthetic well test responses …

Igneous intrusions are common features within rifted sedimentary basins. With advances in
technology, exploration has progressed into more complicated petroleum systems where …

Namurian (Carboniferous) eustatic fluctuations drove the incision and backfill of shelf‐
crossing valley systems located in humid subequatorial regions, which are now preserved in …

The early Devonian Greywacke Conglomerate Formation of the Lanark Basin, southwestern
Midland Valley of Scotland, has been exposed by a new road cut in the Glenbuck area, East …

While sub-surface extraction of coal in the UK has ceased, renewed interest into the internal
structure and growth of faults cutting coal measures exists due to applications for mine …

This thesis helps determine some key structural and geodynamic controls on the evolution of
Carboniferous basins in northern England and Scotland. One key control on early …
