Cross-Border Themes in Petroleum Geology II: Atlantic Margin and Barents Sea (Geological Society Special Publication, 495)

A Cross-border Approach To Exploration, Appraisal And Development Is Important In Mature Basins Such As The North Sea, Where The 'low Hanging Fruit' Have Long Gone. This Approach Emphasizes The Need To See The Basin As One Geological Entity, In Order To Maximize Economic Recovery And Prepare The Area For The Energy Transition. This Volume Offers An Up-to-date, 'geology-without-borders' View Of The Stratigraphy, Sedimentology, Tectonics And Oil-and-gas Exploration Trends Of The Entire North Sea Basin, Along With The Challenges Associated With Differences In Data Continuity And Nomenclature Across Median Lines. This Volume Includes Overviews Of Cross-border Play Statistics, Lithostratigraphic Naming Conventions And Exploration Performance Through To New Facies Models For Cross-border Areas. As Such, This Volume Will Be A Valuable Reference For Every Geoscientist Working In The North Sea For Years To Come--publisher's Description, Volume 1.,This Volume Offers An Up-to-date 'geology-without-borders' View Of The Stratigraphy, Sedimentology, Tectonics And Oil-and-gas Exploration Trends Of The Entire Atlantic Margin And Barents Sea Basin. The Challenges Associated With Data Continuity And Nomenclature Differences Across Median Lines Are Discussed And Mitigated. Examples Of Under-exploited Cross-border Plays And Discoveries Are Discussed--publisher's Description, Volume 2.
