• High-resolution 3D seismic study of pockmarks and shallow fluid flow systems at the Snøhvit hydrocarbon field in the SW Barents Sea 

      Tasianas, Alexandros; Bünz, Stefan; Bellwald, Benjamin; Hammer, Øyvind; Planke, Sverre; Lebedeva-Ivanova, Nina; Krassakis, Pavlos (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-21)
      The Barents Sea is an epicontinental shelf sea with a fragmented structure consisting of long fault complexes, basins and basement highs. Fluid leakage from deep-seated hydrocarbon accumulations is a widespread phenomenon and mostly related to its denudation history during the glacial/interglacial cycles. In this study, we aimed to better understand shallow fluid flow processes that have led to the ...
    • High-resolution landform assemblage along a buried glacio-erosive surface in the SW Barents Sea revealed by P-Cable 3D seismic data 

      Bellwald, Benjamin; Planke, Sverre; Lebedeva-Ivanova, Nina; Piasecka, Emilia Daria; Andreassen, Karin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-01)
      The Quaternary sedimentary record in the Arctic captures a diverse and evolving range of landscapes reflecting cli-mate changes. Here we study the geological landform assemblage of the Upper Regional Unconformity (URU) in theSW Barents Sea. The aims are (i) to characterize buried geological landforms on a meter-scale resolution, (ii) to un-derstand their link with underlying structures, and (iii) ...
    • Meter-Scale 3D Seismic Data for High-Resolution Site Characterization 

      Lebedeva-Ivanova, Nina; Polteau, Stephane; Zastrozhnov, Dmitry; Planke, Sverre; Waage, Malin; Bünz, Stefan; Bellwald, Benjamin; Vanneste, Maarten; Sauvin, Guillaume; Myklebust, R. (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2019-06-03)
      High-resolution 3D site characterization can deliver reliable quantitative property volumes of the subsurface when based on seismic data able to image meter-sized objects. Following the theoretical analysis of seismic wave propagation in the shallow sub-surface, we present case studies based on re-processing of 3D P-Cable seismic data. The case study of data re-processing from the Vestnesa Ridge ...
    • Monitoring Of CO2 Leakage Using High-Resolution 3D Seismic Data – Examples From Snøhvit, Vestnesa Ridge And The Western Barents Sea 

      Bellwald, Benjamin; Waage, Malin; Planke, S; Lebedeva-Ivanova, Nina; Polteau, S; Tasianas, Alexandros; Bünz, Stefan; Plaza-Faverola, Andreia; Berndt, Christian; Stokke, H.H.; Millett, John; Myklebust, R. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-21)
      Injection of CO2 in subsurface reservoirs may cause overburden deformation and CO2 leakage. The aim of this study is to apply technologies for detection and monitoring of CO2 leakage and deformation above the injection reservoirs. The examples of this study include data from the Vestnesa Ridge natural seep site, the Snøhvit gas field and CO2 storage site region, and the Gemini North gas reservoir. ...
    • Structural and fluid-migration control on hill-hole pair formation: Evidence from high-resolution 3D seismic data from the SW Barents Sea 

      Bellwald, Benjamin; Stokke, Henrik Henriksen; Winsborrow, Monica; Planke, Sverre; Sættem, Joar; Lebedeva-Ivanova, Nina; Hafeez, Amer; Kurjanski, Bartosz; Myklebust, Reidun Alice; Polteau, Stephane (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-11)
      Hill-hole pairs are subglacial landforms consisting of thrust-block hills and associated source depressions. Formed by evacuation of material where ice sheets have been locally frozen to the substrate, they give insights into paleo-ice-sheet dynamics. The aim of this study was to document the relationships between ancient hill-hole pairs identified on a buried glacial unconformity with the structure ...
    • Upper cretaceous-paleogene stratigraphy and development of the Mímir High, Vøring transform margin, Norwegian Sea 

      Polteau, Stephane; Planke, Sverre; Zastrozhnov, Dmitrii; Abdelmalak, Mohamed Mansour; Lebedeva-Ivanova, Nina; Eckhoff Planke, Ellen; Svensen, Henrik; Mazzini, Adriano; Gernigon, Laurent; Myklebust, Reidun; Kjølhamar, Bent; Pedersen, Rolf B.; Sandstå, Nils Rune; Bünz, Stefan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-19)
      Transform margins represent strike-slip type of plate boundaries that form during continental breakup and initial ocean opening. They are often characterized by margin-parallel highs with exposed pre- and syn-rift sequences. The Vøring Transform Margin, offshore mid-Norway, initiated in the earliest Eocene during the opening of the NE Atlantic. Here, 2D seismic reflection data reveal a transform ...
