For over 50-years the desert of Southeastern Utah, from the town of Moab to the towers of Canyonlands National Park and the smooth…

Depositional environment: The Depositional environment throughout the Cooper Basin formations is wholly non-marine, with the Patchawarra formation being a fluvial/deltaic depositional environment, with point-bar sandstones the most common reservoir type. Trap structures: Traps in the Cooper Basin are recognised as being structural e.g Anticlines, Stratigraphic e.g. facies change or a combination of these. Most traps in the Patchawarra formation are combination traps and lie somewhere between…
