Biography

Rioko is a PhD researcher in iCRAG's Earth Resources and Energy Transition research areas. Rioko graduated from Durham University in 2017 with a BSc in Environmental Geoscience, before completing her Masters in Petroleum Geoscience at Imperial College London. Rioko then worked as an Energy Transition Policy Analyst at CGG before joining the iCRAG team in 2023, under the supervision of Dr. Kara English and Professor Peter Haughton.

The Kish Bank Basin is located 5-40km offshore Dublin and may be a future geological storage site for use in the energy transition. The reservoir interval has the potential to be a hydrothermal resource to Ireland's capital city. This project will investigate the controls affecting the Triassic reservoir quality in the Irish Sea basins and Northern Ireland, and evaluate its suitability for geostorage.

Project title:

Controls on Triassic Reservoir Quality and Geostorage Potential in the Irish Sea Basins

Technical description:

The key aims of this project include characterisation of the Triassic reservoir heterogeneity through paleogeography, facies and lithologies through integrated analyses of outcrops, core, seismic and petrophysical data across multiple field sites including Northern Ireland, localities in the UK, and the Kish Bank Basin. The project will evaluate the key controls on the reservoir quality through petrological analysis, basin modelling and diagentic forward modelling to understand controls at basin-scale and help derisk reservoir quality during geothermal exploration.
