Abstract

This paper will focus on an investigation into multi-disciplinary studies and how they are key in correctly interpreting the detrital provenance signatures of ancient clastic sediment wedges and their implications for reservoir quality whilst overcoming bias from effects such as diagenesis and hydraulic sorting.
