Architecture of shoreface to deep-water systems in segmented rift systems: Evidence from the southern margin of the Sogn Graben, northern North Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-03)Naturally fractured reservoirs are highly dependent on capillary forces to recover hydrocarbons during water injection. Water can spontaneously imbibe and expel oil if positive capillary forces exist; purely counter-current ... -
Jurassic to Early Cretaceous basin configuration(s) in the Fingerdjupet Subbasin, SW Barents Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-06)The Fingerdjupet Subbasin in the southwestern Barents Sea sits in a key tectonic location between deep rifts in the west and more stable platform areas in the east. Its evolution is characterized by extensional reactivation ... -
Provenance, depositional setting and diagenesis as keys to reservoir quality of the Lower Cretaceous in the SW Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-07)This study examines the role of the depositional environment for the final reservoir quality in four Lower Cretaceous sandstone reservoirs in the southwestern Barents Sea by linking facies to the distribution of primary ... -
Repeated post-Caledonian intra-cratonic rifting in the central North Sea: Evidence from the volcanic record in the Embla oil field
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-11)Intrusive and extrusive mafic igneous rocks in the Embla oil field, central North Sea, testify to repeated post-Caledonian magmatism on the northern flank of the Mid North Sea High. The igneous rocks are highly clay- and ... -
Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous source rocks in the Norwegian Barents Sea, part I: Organic geochemical, petrographic, and paleogeographic investigations.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-09)This study provides a subregional to regional characterization of organofacies changes within the two members of the Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous Hekkingen Formation (i.e. Alge and Krill) by integrating geochemical ... -
Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous source rocks in the Norwegian Barents Sea, part II: Insights from open- and closed-system pyrolysis experiments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-10)The petroleum generation potential of Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous organic rich shales from the southwestern Barents Sea was evaluated using bulk and quantitative pyrolysis analysis. Fifteen thermally-immature samples ...
