Abstract: | This dissertation raises the key question as to whether, in a hypothetical Maltese geological setting, lower or upper coralline limestone could act as a hydrocarbon reservoir rock if directly below blue clay. A related question is whether blue clay could, in this setting, act as a cap rock. In addressing these questions, the dissertation draws insights from the sequence stratigraphic approach, as well as from the principles of hydrocarbon migration and tectonics. The dissertation first defines and explores these fundamental elements, concepts and principles in some detail. It also pays due attention to a number of the most pertinent and related sub-topics. Once the definitions are elucidated, at attempt is made to explore the relevance of the knowledge thus generated to the specificity of a Maltese setting. |
