Sandstone samples from the Enagi Formation, found at the base of sections in the study area, indicate deposition in a fluvial environment. Texturally immature yet compositionally mature, they exhibit poor sorting and abundant quartz minerals. Petrographic analysis suggests a mixed origin from igneous and metamorphic sources, supported by the presence of mineral inclusions like zircon and tourmaline. Sandstones with high quartz content likely possess enhanced reservoir quality.

The research provides novel insights into tectonic and sedimentation activities during post-deposit 2 depositional events within the Boulliante-Montserrat graben SE offshore Montserrat Island. Utilizing high-resolution sub-bottom profile data and sediment core analysis, the study identifies four stratigraphic units mapped on top of Deposit 2, revealing two distinct periods of sedimentation history. Analysis suggests regular sedimentation followed by increased failure activities, with the emplacement of mass transport deposits (MTDs) occurring in at least three events. These MTDs comprise bioclastic and volcano-clastic deposits, originating from submarine shelf collapses and submarine pyroclastic flow deposits, potentially triggered by climatic change and tectonic activities.
