Our aim is to provide modern and ancient analogues of depositional environments, reservoir geometry and stratigraphic architecture to improve hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation.
 |
Our research includes sedimentology, stratigraphy, petroleum geology, reservoir and seal analogues, 3D reservoir modelling, carbon capture and sequestration, modern environments, outcrop studies, stratigraphic compartmentalisation, sequence stratigraphy, facies analysis, seismic stratigraphy, geomorphology and Quaternary sedimentology. RARG team members have expertise in dryland, marginal marine, fluvial and deepwater environments, including substantial experience in remote area fieldwork. Facilities include industry-standard seismic, well log and 3D reservoir modelling software, and access to the South Australian Virtual Reality Centre.
The RARG team are members of the Centre for Tectonics, Resources and Exploration (TRaX), and are involved in several large industry and government funded research projects, with multi-million dollar funding from worldwide industry sponsors. Key consortia are CO2CRC, LEBARG and WAVE. RARG are an international team, with collaborators around the world.
