• The Lower Cretaceous of Svalbard and its relevance for exploration in the northern Barents Sea 

      Grundvåg, Sten-Andreas; Jelby, Mads; Midtkandal, Ivar; Sliwinska, Kasia; Nøhr-Hansen, Henrik; Marin Restrepo, Dora Luz; Kairanov, Bereke; Escalona, Alejandro; Olaussen, Snorre (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2017)
      The Lower Cretaceous succession in the Barents Sea is listed as a potential play model by the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate. Reservoirs may occur in deep to shallow marine clastic wedges located in proximity to palaeo-highs and along basin margins. In addition, shelf-prism-scale clinoforms with high amplitude anomalies in their top- and bottomsets have been reported from reflection seismic but ...
    • Structure and flow properties of syn-rift border faults: The interplay between fault damage and fault-related chemical alteration (Dombjerg Fault, Wollaston Forland, NE Greenland) 

      Kristensen, Thomas B.; Rotevatn, Atle; Peacock, David C.P.; Henstra, Gijs A.; Midtkandal, Ivar; Grundvåg, Sten-Andreas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-29)
      Structurally controlled, syn-rift, clastic depocentres are of economic interest as hydrocarbon reservoirs; understanding the structure of their bounding faults is of great relevance, e.g. in the assessment of fault-controlled hydrocarbon retention potential. Here we investigate the structure of the Dombjerg Fault Zone (Wollaston Forland, NE Greenland), a syn-rift border fault that juxtaposes syn-rift ...
    • Sylfjellet: a new outcrop of the Paleogene Van Mijenfjorden Group in Svalbard 

      Jochmann, Malte Michel; Augland, Lars Eivind; Lenz, Olaf; Bieg, Gerd; Haugen, Turid; Grundvåg, Sten-Andreas; Jelby, Mads E.; Midtkandal, Ivar; Dolezych, Martina; Hjálmarsdóttir, Hanna Rósa (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-05)
      A hitherto unrecognized Paleogene outcrop has been discovered at Sylfjellet, a mountain located at the northern side of Isfjorden, Svalbard. The strata, which cover an area of 0.8 km2, have until now been assigned to the Lower Cretaceous succession of the Adventdalen Group. In this study, the Sylfjellet site was studied in detail to provide an updated structural and sedimentological description of ...
