  9. Case Study 1 – Jurassic, UK North Sea Conclusions Sedimentological re-description of a historic core database underpinned the building of a field-scale depositional model for a relatively thin reservoir unit with significant volumes of unswept oil in a late-life giant field. Depositional model de-risked uncertainty over distribution of moderate-high reservoir quality zones. This allowed a dedicated production well to be planned and drilled. Results of the well were highly cost-effective.
