Linking facies variations, organic carbon richness and bulk bitumen content – A case study of the organic-rich Middle Triassic shales from eastern Svalbard
Wesenlund, Fredrik; Grundvåg, Sten-Andreas; Engelschiøn, Victoria Sjøholt; Thießen, Olaf; Pedersen, Jon Halvard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-03)The organic-rich shales of the Middle Triassic Botneheia Formation in Svalbard and its correlative units offshore are considered important source rock intervals for oil and gas generation in the Norwegian Barents Shelf region. Detailed investigation of these intervals is essential to better understand the intra source rock variations and thus to improve exploration models. As source rocks are rarely ... -
Multi-elemental chemostratigraphy of Triassic mudstones in eastern Svalbard: implications for source rock formation in front of the World’s largest delta plain
Wesenlund, Fredrik; Grundvåg, Sten-Andreas; Engelschiøn, Victoria Sjøholt; Thieβen, Olaf; Pedersen, Jon Halvard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-03)The Triassic Boreal Ocean was a shallow epicontinental basin and the sink of the World's largest delta plain known to date. Nutrient and freshwater supply from this delta have been regarded as important causes for high productivity and water mass stratification, forming Middle Triassic oil-prone source rocks. Recent studies attribute upwelling and a productivity-induced oxygen minimum zone as ...
