Lysing And Lange Formations Study – High-resolution Biostratigraphy

The stratigraphic development of the Coniacian to Albian sections on the Halten and Dønna Terraces and the Vøring Basin.

Study Aims

• Robust stratigraphic framework and sequence stratigraphy for the Albian to Coniacian section.
• Date and correlate potential sand developments on a basin scale.
• Document the development of unconformable intervals around the basin margins and aid prediction of potential sand sourcing.
• Develop a set of local biostratigraphic events for use in further high resolution work.
• Apply nannopalaeontology to section to assist in correlation.
• Microfacies and sequence characterisation.

Study Deliverables

• Quantitative analyses for each discipline – focus on the reservoir sections.
• 520 consistent paly analyses, 415 nanno analyses, 415 micro analyses.
• 5 correlation panels showing biostratigraphic, chronostratigraphic and sequence stratigraphic interpretations.
• Raw data from new analyses delivered in StrataBugs format.
• Project correlations and interpretations available in ODM3™ format (www.odmweb.com), allowing integration with corporate databases (e.g. OpenWorks™).
• Hard copy and digital report formats (Adobe Acrobat™).
• Seminars and follow-up.
