Description of cored sections in three wells located in the Visund area: 34/8-9S, 34/8-A-33H and 34/8-A-1H

Research output: Book/ReportReport (publicly available)

Abstract

The present study is carried out for NPD in order to unravel the depositional setting of linsoidal to sigmoidal units formed in front of a huge Quarternary progradational wedge. Cored sections from three wells, 34/8-9S, 34/8-A-33H and 34/8-A-1H, located in the Visund area, northern North Sea, are described. Four facies have been identified: Facies 1 organic-rich silty mudstone, Facies 2 calcareous clayey siltstone, Facies 3 calcareous sandstone and Facies 4 contorted conglomerate. The cored sections all represent deep water contourites. A 3 m section 34/8-9S is interpreted as debris-flow or, alternatively, may be interpreted as an injectite.
