Abstract

Studies of Upper Jurassic sandstone formations, the Heno Formation and the Gert unit, in the Danish North Sea sector have revealed two diverging diagenetic trends, which appear related to sedimentary environments: 1 ) Distal marine sands (lower shoreface to offshore) end up as reservoirs with fair porosities but low permeabilities, 2) Marginal marine sands (beach, barrier-island complex) create reservoirs with fair to high porosities and fair to high permeabilities.
