The results of the major and trace element determination confirm the previously suggested ap- pearance from at least two different primary localities. One sample has low abundances in TiO2 and Ir (0.77 wt.% and 47 ± 16 ppt, respectively), whereas all others have iridium concentrations between 200– 450 ppt. On the basis of the chemical composition the bentonite layers are distant equivalents of coeval ash deposits from the Fur and Balder Formation in Denmark and the North Sea, respectively, as was sug- gested from petrological and mineralogical investigations. be assigned to represent the Paleocene/Eocene- INTRODUCTION boundary, because marine and terrestrial sections The Rhenodanubian Flysch zone comprises an can be correlated by this excursion; however, up imbricated thrust pile trending parallel to the to now the Paleocene/Eocene-boundary still awaits northern margin of the Eastern Alps.

Blankenship On the cover: A strike section (bedding appears approximately horizontal) through the Tierra Loma Shale Member (Upper Cretaceous) of the Moreno Formation (Upper Cretaceous to Lower Paleocene) from Marca Canyon, near Firebaugh, California, U.S.A. All sandstones (pale colors) are dikes from the Panoche Giant Injection Complex and, in this section, are from the upper part of the intrusive complex where dikes dominate. The thickest dike is approximately 5 m (16 ft) thick. Approximately 60 m (197 ft) of stratigraphic section is present in the foreground cliff. Dikes con- tinue in the overlying section for a further 250 m (820 ft) where they terminate close to a paleoseafloor on which sand extrudites and cold carbonate seep communities occur (see Chapter 16 of this volume).

  • Large Scale Deepwater Sediment Remobilisation : Examples from North Sea 3D Seismic and Outcrop S.J.M
    Large scale deepwater sediment remobilisation : examples from North Sea 3D seismic and outcrop S.J.M. Molyneux 1; J.A. Cartwright2 and L Lonergan, T.H.Huxley School, Imperial College, London, UK. 1PanCanadian Petroleum Ltd, Calgary. 2Department of Earth Sciences, Cardiff University, Cardiff, Wales The Palaeocene/Eocene to Mio-Pliocene sediments of the Central and Northern North Sea contain deepwater sediments with significant hydrocarbon reserves within submarine fan sands encased in mudrocks. Post depositional processes have significantly changed the original small and large scale geometry and reservoir characteristics of these deepwater sediments. Examples of large scale remobilisation from 3D seismic, well and core data from the above intervals vary from cross cutting 10’s of metres thick and 100’s of metres in extent intrusions of sands, kilometer scale seabed pockmarks, sand mounds with kilometre wavelengths deposited between a mud mounded sea floor and syn to post depositional controlled polygonally faulted deepwater sands. Outcrop analogues of large scale remobilisation are difficult to identify as the scale of these sandstone intrusion is often larger than the outcrop available. Within Upper Miocene Santa Cruz Mudstone, Santa Cruz, California exist one of only two kilometre scale sandstone intrusion complexes in the world. The intrusion of these sands is postulated to have been related to the expulsion of basinal fluids including hydrocarbons and related overpressure build ups, as proposed for several of the intrusive examples above in the Tertairy of the North Sea. The geoscientist should be aware of the small to very large scale nature of sediment remobilisation which can significantly change primary depositional geometries and physical properties of deepwater sediments.

  • Second Licensing Round on the Faroese Continental Shelf
    Enhancing the prospectivity of the Wyville Thomson Ridge Kevin Smith, Patrick Whitley, Geoffrey S. Kimbell, Martin Kubala and Howard Johnson Føroya Kolvetni (Faroe Petroleum) was awarded Licence 012, covering part of the Wyville Thomson Ridge, in the second Faroese Licensing Round and this paper summarises some initial results from their work programme. Interest in the prospectivity of the Wyville Thomson Ridge was stimulated in the 1990s by a proposal that it forms a compressional anticline with a thin carapace of Paleogene lavas, overlying an inverted sedimentary basin. Gravity interpretation confirms that the ridge can be modelled as an inverted basin, although uncertainties inherent in the method limit the accuracy of the thickness estimates. Seismic reflection data shot in 2005 provide improved resolution of the pre-lava succession, with some reflector packages resembling seismic facies from the prospective Paleocene succession in the Faroe-Shetland Basin. The Rannvá exploration lead consists of an extremely large four-way dip closure beneath thin lavas at the crest of the Wyville Thomson Ridge. Source rock presence and maturity, hydrocarbon migration, and reservoir development in the Licence 012 area are discussed on the basis of regional observations. 1 Smith et al. This prospectivity assessment of licensed acreage in the Faroese sector of the north-east Atlantic margin focuses upon the Wyville Thomson Ridge, a linear bathymetric high mantled by volcanic rocks, which forms a physical barrier between the Rockall Trough and the Faroe- Shetland Channel (Morton et al. 1988b; Stoker et al. 1988; Earle et al.1989) (Fig.1). In the vicinity of the median line, a buried transfer zone probably underlies the whole structure (Rumph et al.

  • The Geology Behind Drilling Incidents Within the Balder Formation Around the Corona Ridge, West of Shet
    1 Raiders of the Lost Mud: The geology behind drilling incidents within the Balder 2 Formation around the Corona Ridge, West of Shetland 3 Douglas Watson1, Nick Schofield1*, Alistair Maguire2, Christine Telford3, Niall Mark1, Stuart Archer4, 4 & Jonathon Hardman1 5 1 Department of Geology & Petroleum Geology, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, AB24 3UE, UK 6 2 Schlumberger, Peregrine Road, Elrick, Westhill, AB32 6TJ, UK 7 3 CTC Geo Ltd, 176 Portland Road, Jesmond, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE2 1DJ 8 4 MÆRSK OLIE OG GAS A/S, a Company of TOTAL, Amerika Plads 29, 2100 Copenhagen Ø, Denmark 9 * Correspondence: [email protected] 10 11 Abstract: The Faroe-Shetland Basin, NE Atlantic continental margin, hosts a number of important 12 hydrocarbon fields, though deep water and narrow weather windows mean drilling costs are 13 considerably higher than other parts of the UK Continental Shelf. Any additional drilling complications 14 are therefore important to predict and negate as such issues can result in avoidable multi-million pound 15 cost implications. This study focuses on the Corona Ridge, an intra-basinal high which contains the 16 Rosebank Field, where a plethora of drilling issues, of enigmatic origin, are common within a key 17 stratigraphic marker known as the Balder Formation. Drilling fluid loss, bit balling, wellbore breakouts, 18 and wellbore “ballooning”, where lost drilling fluid returns to the wellbore, are all recognised within 19 the Balder Formation along the Corona Ridge. We find that many of the drilling incidents can be traced 20 back to both the lithological character of the Balder Formation, and the mid-Miocene tectonic 21 inversion of the Corona Ridge.

The thicknesses of the formations varied across the basin, with the Flett and Balder Formations displaying thickness ranges of 0 - 800 m and 0 - 300 m respectively. The wireline signatures showed shale and sandstone as the main lithologies within these formations with volcanics observed in the shallower NE - SW part of the basin. The shales and sandstones of the Lower Flett Formation (T40) were believed to have been deposited on the slope within the deep marine environment during the relative sea level fall. The sediments of the Upper Flett Formation (T45) were deposited on the shallow marine shelf environment. The transition from slope deposit (T40) to shelf deposit (T45) was attributed to the effect of uplift in the Shetland area in the Early Paleocene time.

The GESTCO project is a joint research project conducted by 8 national geological surveys and several industry partners/end users, partly funded by the European Union 5th Framework Programme for Research and Development. Four of the most promising types of geological storage are being studied: 1) onshore/offshore saline aquifers with or without lateral seal, 2) low entalpy geothermal reservoirs, 3) deep methane-bearing coal beds and abandoned coal and salt mines, and 4) exhausted or near exhausted hydrocarbon structures. In this report, we present an inventory of CO2 point sources in Norway (1999) and the results of the work within Study Area C: deep saline aquifers offshore/near shore Northern and Central Norway.

The collision between Greenland and Svalbard resulted in strong folding along the west-coast of Svalbard. the Tertiary succession of the Scandinavian countries. In the North Sea Basin, the limestone deposition that characterised The succession records an initial phase of carbonate the earliest Tertiary gave way to deposition of deep marine clays deposition in the early Paleocene. This was succeeded with intercalated sandy gravity flows (Figure 1). On Svalbard, a transgressional foreland basin accumulated coastal plain, shallow by deposition of deep marine clays with intercalation of marine and deepwater deposits. There was distinct uplift of the mar- sand-rich mass-flow deposits during most of the Pale- ginal areas of the Fennoscandian Shield in the Neogene and major ocene and Eocene.
