Chemostratigraphy of Triassic / Jurassic sequences: Barents Sea (available now)
Eleven hundred and eighty samples from wells 7120/9-2, 7120/12-2, 7121/1-1, 7122/7-3, 7124/3-1, 7128/6-1, 7224/7-1, 7228/7-1A, 7226/11-1, 7228/2-1S, 7228/9-1S, 7229/11-1, 7321/8-1 and 7324/10-1 are included in this study. These wells all penetrate thick and nearly complete Triassic successions. Six chemostratigraphic megasequences, (Megasequences BMS0 to BMS5), are defined and regionally correlated. The mega sequences are further divided into twelve chemostratigraphic sequences and a a total of twenty chemostratigraphic packages, providing a means to define local, detailed stratigraphic correlations.
Chemostratigraphy of Triassic / Jurassic sequences: Barents Sea Additional wells (available now)
After completion of the initial phase of the Barents Sea study an additional six wells have analysed and placed within the chemostratigraphic framework. These wells are 7125/1-1, 7219/9-1, 7128/4-, 7321/7-1, 7321/9-1 and 7122/6-1.
Sediment Provenance and dispersal patterns in the Barents Sea (being initiated)
After the successful completion of the chemostratigraphic study on the Barents Sea, a second phase has been initiated which will look in more detail at sediment provenance and sediment dispersal patterns within the Western Barents area. This study will include details heavy mineral, grain chemistry and age dating analysis which will be placed within a high resolution chemostratigraphic framework.
Chemostratigraphy of Triassic sequences in the Central Graben (available Q32008)
Twenty (20) wells penetrations through the Smithbank and Skageraak formations form the basis for this regional chemostratigraphic and sedimentological study. The wells extend from Judy in the south through Kessog and Herron, finishing north of Marnock. The study, carried out in association with Redrock Associates, provides high resolution chemostratigraphic correlations, detailed facies, paleoenvironemntal and palaeogeographic evaluation and a revised sequence stratigraphic model.
Chemostratigraphy of Upper Carboniferous sequences in the Southern North Sea (Delivery expected Q2 2009)
The proposed study aims to provide a high resolution stratigraphic framework that can be applied in the understanding of reservoir and field development. In addition, the dataset will yield information on the palaeo-environment and sand provenance to model sediment dispersal patterns to further enhance reservoir understanding. Cuttings and core samples from 45 key wells will be incorporated into the proposed study.
