Architecture of shoreface to deep-water systems in segmented rift systems: Evidence from the southern margin of the Sogn Graben, northern North Sea
Zhong, Xiaoan; Escalona, Alejandro; Augustsson, Carita (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-03)Naturally fractured reservoirs are highly dependent on capillary forces to recover hydrocarbons during water injection.

The impact of salt tectonics on the Mesozoic sedimentation and petroleum systems of the Norwegian Barents Sea
Rojo Moraleda, Luis Alberto (PhD thesis UiS;540, Doctoral thesis, 2020-09)In the Norwegian Barents Sea, Mesozoic and Cenozoic mobilization of Pennsylvanian-lower Permian layered evaporite sequences (LES) resulted in areas with salt tectonics (e.g. Nordkapp, Tromsø and Tiddlybanken basins), which ... -
Jurassic to Early Cretaceous basin configuration(s) in the Fingerdjupet Subbasin, SW Barents Sea
Serck, Christopher Sæbø; Faleide, Jan Inge; Braathen, Alvar; Kjølhamar, Bent; Escalona, Alejandro (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 ... -
