Project descirption
The key dataset for this project is well-based; including core, wireline data, biostratigraphy, petrography and various existing reports that provide important insight to integrate into a detailed semi-regional understanding. Key themes that will form the primary workflows and deliverables are correlation, sequence stratigraphy, facies analysis and depositional concepts, petrography including the role of chlorite, petrophysics and reservoir quality, culminating in a set of palaeogeography maps and depositional models that describe the temporal and spatial variability of these formations.
The application of the study results at an appropriate geographic scale to the Linnorm area development will provide new predictive insight for both exploration targets (conceptual foundation for reservoir presence and uncertainty ranges) and geomodelling (conceptual foundation for spatial reservoir variability, facies modelling and trends).
Proposed course plan during the master's degree (60 ECTS)
GEOV272 (10p), GEOV361 (10p), GEOV251 (10p), GEOV261 (10p), GEOV352 (5), GEOV360 (10p), GEOV302 (5p)
Prerequisites
The student must be interested in working and collaborating with others and will spend some of the time at Equinor's premises at Sandsli in Bergen.
Field-, lab- and analysis work
The project will primarily use seismic data and integrate well logs and core data. No field work is planned.
