Master Project Example - Tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the Early Paleocene Bore/Våle Formation on the eastern rift shoulder of Central Graben

The primary objective of this thesis is to conduct a seismo-stratigraphic analysis of the Early Paleocene Bore/Våle Formation within the Norwegian Central Graben. The focus will be on understanding the source-to-sink system originating from the Norwegian mainland. This play has long been of interest, particularly in terms of reservoir-seal pair potential, especially following the successful discoveries along the Siri Fairway. However, the recent Othello discovery (wells 2/6-7 S & A), located significantly farther north, has prompted a renewed examination of the spatial and temporal distribution of Early Paleocene deposits. This study will integrate 3D seismic data—supplemented by 2D seismic where 3D coverage is lacking—with well data to achieve a comprehensive interpretation. An implicit outcome of this work will be an enhanced understanding of the controlling factors and internal architecture of the high-resolution stratigraphic sequences.
