Abstract

The late Miocene thick accumulations of submarine fan and slope fan deposits namely the Mount Messenger Formation, represent low resistivity reservoir within Taranaki Basin of New Zealand. Despite their hydrocarbon potentiality, there are no previous integrated studies conducted to characterize these thick deposits in Ngatoro area, lying within the Taranaki Basin. This research gap amplified the motivation for conducting an integrated investigation by utilizing multidisciplinary datasets and techniques. The present study aims at evaluating, discriminating and delineating the geological and petrophysical characteristics of the Mount Messenger Reservoir in 3D space. The used techniques include seismic structural interpretation, 3D structural, petrophysical and facies modelling with well log and core data analyses and fault seal analysis. The formation is dissected by steep NNE-SSW normal faults forming grabens/half-grabens and horsts. The formation exhibits good to very good reservoir quality, based on the permeabilities and porosities. The facies model comprises 39.4% fan units and 60.6% claystone with a general increase of fan units towards the west and NW directions. Two types of submarine fans are recognized by their log patterns; basin floor fans and slope fans. The fault seal analysis reveals that the majority of the fault planes are considered as impermeable. The present study highlighted the potentiality for further development of exploration in Taranaki Basin and surrounding areas.

Article highlights

  • A multidisciplinary approach is introduced to characterize submarine fans.

  • This includes 3D structural/property modelling techniques, core analyses and fault sealing.

  • The study highlighted the potentiality for further development of Mount Messenger exploration in the Taranaki Basin.

  • The approach can be applied to similar reservoir types around the world.
