Within the Manx Basin, the primary reservoir is the early Triassic Helsby sandstone. The Helsby occurs in various facies, each with its own characteristic reservoir properties. Although seismic reflection data is insensitive to changes in the pore fluid fill, geophysical modelling has shown that it should be possible to map porosity variations on conventional seismic data.
