Heterogeneities in fine-grained slope systems and their impact on seal quality

Fine-grained lithologies control the rates and pathways of migrating fluids in sedimentary basins, and as such, play an important role in the trapping and sealing of hydrocarbons in the subsurface. However, the capacity for mudstones to retain large hydrocarbon column heights is highly variable and...
