This study investigates the sedimentology of the Klubbnasen and Andersby formations of the Late Precambrian (Neoproterozoic) succession in Varanger, eastern Finnmark. Additionally, the lower parts of the Fugleberget and Paddeby formations overlying the Klubbnasen and Andersby formations, respectively, were superficially investigated in order to provide stratigraphic context. The investigated formations ...

«Multi-proxy» analyser av tre sedimentkjerneprøver (inkludert litostratigrafi, fysiske egenskaper, kornfordelingsanalyse og XRF skanning) og analyse av høyoppløselige seismiske data ble korrelert for å belyse sedimentasjonsprosesser og rekonstruere deglasiasjonshistorie, samt postglasialt sedimentasjonsmiljø under sen Weichsel og Holocen i Ersfjorden på Kvaløya, nordvest i Troms fylke. Tre ...

The upper Cenozoic stratigraphy in the northern North Sea (Sleipner area) have been investigated, using high quality 3D seismic data and five exploration wells. Interpretation of the seismic data, have indicated six distinct sequences (S1-S6). These sequences have been classified according to reflection configuration, and well log characteristics. Based on the seismic data, a simple model have been ...

This master thesis study uses seismic modeling to better understand the seismic response of the free gas that accumulates beneath hydrate-bearing sediments. To this end, I developed 12 different geological models ranging from very simple geometries to anticline structures. Within these models, I varied the distribution of free gas in the layers beneath the BSR. Sediment properties were taken from ...

Batymetriske og seismiske data er analysert for å utrede den senkenozoiske utviklingen av kontinentalmarginen utenfor Troms. Prograderende kiler av glasigene avsetninger er identifisert nær munningen av de glasiale trauene Andfjorden og Malangsdjupet. En seismisk stratigrafi med to hovedenheter, S1 og S2, er definert. Enhet S2 viser hovedsakelig et prograderende mønster mot nordvest, mens S2 er ...

This thesis focuses on the Goliat area located in the Hammerfest Basin, SW Barents Sea. The overall aim of this study is to increase the understanding of fluid flow processes between deeper thermogenic sources, and shallow gas accumulations. Indications of an active fluid flow system has been observed throughout the southwestern Barents Sea. Much of the fluid flow from deep hydrocarbon reservoirs ...

Two shallow boreholes, 7418/01-U-01 and 7517/12-U-01, were in 1994 drilled by IKU / SINTEF on behalf of the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) northwest of Bjørnøya in the western Barents Sea. These were part of a program totalling nine boreholes at six different locations between Bjørnøya and Svalbard. This area is not opened for petroleum activity, and the shallow boreholes were aimed at ...

The Zermatt-Saas Fee zone represents an ophiolitic sequence within the Western Alps derived from the paleo ocean Liguro-Piemontaise. The melting of the Unterer Theodulgletcher glacier newly uncovered some Tc-Mgs and Atg-Dol veins within serpentinite host rock. Both the serpentinite and veins are fresh as they have been protected from weathering by the glacier, which makes this area ideal for ...

The primary goal for this thesis was the reprocessing and interpretation of 2D seismic lines in the Fram Strait and West Svalbard Margin (WSM). Seismic data quality was significantly improved through the implementation of new processing steps that had previously not been applied, incl. e.g. burst removal and a more advanced type of migration. The reprocessed lines were acquired by CAGE over multiple ...

The focus of this thesis is structural analysis of the Billefjorden Fault Zone astride Billefjorden and Sassenfjorden in Spitsbergen, with the use of seismic interpretation combined/aided by geological and bathymetric maps, field observations and well data. The aim is to describe structures and the tectonic development of the study area. The focus is on large tectonic events from Devonian to ...
