Sand distribution in Melke Formation (Middle-Late Jurassic) along the Nordland Ridge and Halten Terrace.

APT has carried out a study of the Spekk, Melke and partly Garn Formations to date sand bodies and map their regional extent along the Nordland Ridge. A total of forty-one wells with available biostratigraphic and wireline log data have been included in the project.

Deliverables

  • Re-interpretation of the Garn Formation.
  • Identification and dating of the Intra Melke sandstone.
  • Maps with distribution of Garn formation, “Intra Melke” and “Oxfordian” sands.
  • Depositional environments
  • Chrono/lithostratigraphic breakdowns of each well with documentation of important biostratigraphic occurrences.
  • Wheeler diagrams highlighting hiatuses.
  • Event correlation profiles
