Drilling Productivity on the Norwegian Continental Shelf
Recently, we have seen falling oil prices combined with sticky costs at a high level in the petroleum industry. This cause cost cuts and project postponements, thus challenging reserve replacement of oil companies and security of supply for consumers. Costs are particularly high for drilling. High rig rates are obviously important. In new contracts for high-spec semi rigs on the Norwegian Conti...
متن کاملModeling Sedimentary Deposits on the Continental Margin
A first objective is to investigate the fabric (pattern) of seabed stratification on continental margins at small time and space scales (1 cm-50 cm depth into the seabed; 1 hr-3 yrs sedimentary record). To this end, we are testing the hypothesis that on muddy shelves such as the northern California shelf, Holocene event stratigraphy consists of the deposits of high-concentration storm regimes a...
متن کاملGeochemistry and Thermobarometry of Bazman volcanic rocks, An example of active continental margin volcano
Bazman volcano is located in the Makran-Chaghi magmatic arc in southeastern Iran. Many studies have been done on this volcano, especially of petrology such as: Biabangard and Mollazadehbarvati, 2017; Berberian and Berberian, 1982; Mohammadi, 2005; Sahandi et al., 2010; Schmidt and Dabiri, 2019; Firoozkoohi, et al., 2017; Ghodsi et al., 2006; Glamghash et al., 2015; Karimpour et al., 2012; St...
متن کاملIce-sheet dynamics through the Quaternary on the mid-Norwegian continental margin inferred from 3D seismic data
Reconstructing the evolution of ice sheets is critical to our understanding of the global environmental system, but most detailed palaeo-glaciological reconstructions have hitherto focused on the very recent history of ice sheets. Here, we present a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the changing nature of ice-sheet derived sedimentary architecture through the Quaternary Ice Age of almost...
متن کاملTectonic inheritance at a continental margin
GSA Today: v. 16, no. 2, doi: 10.1130/1052-5173(2006)016<4:TIAACM>2.0.CO;2 INTRODUCTION Forty years ago, the eastern margin of North America inspired Tuzo Wilson (1966) to ask, “Did the Atlantic close and then re-open?” The Wilson cycle of closing and opening of ocean basins incorporates the cyclic assembly and breakup of supercontinents. Alternate processes of extension and compression of cont...
