Tim Needham has carried out projects worldwide:
He has also delivered industry training courses both in field and classroom settings.
NW Europe
Wide ranging studies of structural studies of individual fields and prospects in the North Sea, East Irish Sea, Barents Sea and west of Shetland. Studies include:
• Detailed structural core description of over 100 wells including Brent, Rotliegendes, Fulmar, Chalk, Palaeozoic and Basement reservoirs.
• Fault seal studies of individual fields including fault property generation for input into reservoir and simulation models.
• Regional studies west of Shetland and in the East Irish Sea including integration of gravity and magnetic data.
North Africa
Structural studies in Algeria:
• Description of fractured core in Palaeozoic reservoirs.
• Fault seal analysis in TAGI reservoir fields, Berkine Basin
• Prospect analysis and structural risking.
• Fieldwork on Devonian reservoir analogues, Ahnet Basin
TOP
West Africa
Studies along the west African margin in Angola, Gabon and Nigeria:
• Fault seal studies of prospects and fields.
• Generation of balanced and restored cross-sections, offshore Angola.
• Fieldwork in Gabon.
• Structural core description and image log interpretation.
• Prospect analysis and structural risking.
North America
Studies ranging across and integrating all scales of structures, including:
• Regional structural assessment of the west Canadian sedimentary basin including integration of gravity and magnetic data.
• Analysis of reservoir scale deformation in deepwater fields, Gulf of Mexico.
• Analysis of fractures systems in Canadian Rockies foothills fields.
• Seismic interpretation, balanced and restored cross-section construction, Canadian Rockies.
• Analysis of fractured fields, west Texas.

• Structural core description, Zagros fields, Iran
• Fieldwork in the Zagros Mountains, Iran
• Regional structural studies integrating remote sensing data, Zagros Mountains.
Southeast Asia
• Fault seal studies on fields in the Gulf of Thailand and Natuna Sea.
Other areas
Other studies include:
• Regional structural study of the East African Rift System.
• Regional study of basins along the East African and Madagascan continental margins.
• Fault seal and structural study of fields in Trinidad.
Training
Courses in structural geology, fault seal analysis and fractured reservoirs, including field trips, run in the UK, France, Norway, US, Kuwait, Taiwan and Tunisia.
