  This paper considers the lithospheric structure and evolution of the wider Barents–Kara Sea region based on the compilation and integration of geophysical and geological data. Regional transects are constructed at both crustal and lithospheric scales based on the available data and a regional three-dimensional model. The transects, which extend onshore and into the deep oceanic basins, are used to link deep and shallow structures and processes, as well as to link offshore and onshore areas. The study area has been affected by numerous orogenic events in the Precambrian– Cambrian (Timanian), Silurian–Devonian (Caledonian), latest Devonian–earliest Carboniferous (Ellesmerian–Svalbardian), Carboniferous–Permian (Uralian), Late Triassic (Taimyr, Pai Khoi and Novaya Zemlya) and Palaeogene (Spitsbergen -Eurekan). It has also been affected by at least three episodes of regional-scale magmatism, the so-called large igneous provinces: the Siberian Traps (Permian–Triassic transition), the High Arctic Large Igneous Province (Early Cretaceous) and the North Atlantic (Paleocene–Eocene transition). Additional magmatic events occurred in parts of the study area in Devonian and Late Cretaceous times. Within this geological framework, we integrate basin development with regional tectonic events and summarize the stages in basin evolution. We further discuss the timing, causes and implications of basin evolution. Fault activity is related to regional stress regimes and the reactivation of pre-existing basement structures. Regional uplift/subsidence events are discussed in a source-to-sink context and are related to their regional tectonic and palaeogeographical settings.

  An integrated innovative multidisciplinary approach has been used to estimate effective porosity (PHIE), shale volume (Vsh), and sand probability from prestack angle gathers and petrophysical well logs within the Lower Triassic Havert Formation in the Goliat field, Southwest Barents Sea. A rock-physics feasibility study revealed the optimum petrofacies discriminating ability of extended elastic impedance (EEI) tuned for PHIE and Vsh. We then combined model-based prestack inversion outputs from a simultaneous inversion and an EEI inversion into a multilinear attribute regression analysis to estimate absolute Vsh and PHIE seismic attributes. The quality of the Vsh and PHIE prediction is shown to increase by integrating the EEI inversion in the workflow. Probability distribution functions and a priori petrofacies proportions extracted from the well data are then applied to the Vsh and PHIE volumes to obtain clean and shaly sand probabilities. A tectonic-controlled point-source depositional model for the Havert Formation sands is then inferred from the extracted sand bodies and the seismic geomorphological character of the different attributes

  The Barents Sea is believed to have been influenced in most parts by Cenozoic uplift and erosion episodes. The rocks in the area are not currently at their maximum burial depth. The exhumation of the sedimentary rocks has had large effects on rock physical properties and hydrocarbon maturation and migration. The current study seeks to estimate exhumation from shale compaction and thermal maturity techniques and discuss its implications for hydrocarbon exploration in the uplifted Barents Sea area. This study uses well logs and thermal maturity data together with widely distributed shot gather data along long-offset seismic reflection lines. The use of shale compaction techniques to estimate exhumation was focused particularly on the regionally preserved Aptian-Albian (Kolmule Formation) and Paleogene (Torsk Formation) shales. Normal compaction reference curves were established for these units in areas currently at their maximum burial depth (e.g. Sørvestsnaget Basin and Vestbakken Volcanic Province). The results suggest widespread Cenozoic exhumation throughout the southwestern Barents Sea. The exhumation magnitudes increase towards east and northeast. The average exhumation estimates from the three data sources range from ∼800 to 1400 m within the Hammerfest Basin, ∼1150–1950 m on the Loppa High, ∼1200–1400 m on the Finmark Platform and ∼1250–2400 m on the Bjarmeland Platform. The marked differences in glacial erosion from mass balance and average erosion estimates from the current study suggest a significant pre-glacial uplift and erosion in the southwestern Barents Sea area. The observed stratigraphy and presence of significant volumes of Late Oligocene-Middle Miocene sediments in basins at the outer margin, and increased erosion rates at the same time in source areas suggest that maximum burial in the southwestern Barents Sea may have occurred sometime during the Oligocene, or even earlier in the Eocene. The results from this study are useful input for modelling of source rock maturation, generation, migration and trapping of hydrocarbons in the area. These results are also an important input for the prediction of more precise reservoir and seal rock properties in frontier areas away from the exploration wells and provide valuable knowledge for the use of interval velocities in the uplifted areas.

  This study implements a multidisciplinary approach to porosity (PHIE), shale volume (Vsh) and sand probability estimation from prestack angle gathers and petrophysical well logs. A rock physics feasibility study revealed the optimum petrofacies discriminating ability of extended elastic impedance (EEI) and PHIE. Multilinear regression analysis is then applied to the output of the simultaneous inversion of seismic data to estimate Vsh and PHIE. Probability distribution functions (PDFs) and a priori facies extracted from the well data are then applied to the Vsh and PHIE volumes to obtain a sand probability cube for the Lower Triassic Havert Formation in the Goliat field, SW Barents Sea.

  This study describes a successful multidisciplinary work flow for quantitative lithology prediction from prestack angle gathers and petrophysical well log data within the Realgrunnen Subgroup in the Goliat Field, Norwegian Barents Sea. An amplitude-versus-angle (AVA) qualitative attribute analyses was performed to assess the spatial distribution of lithology anomalies from the seismic data. A simultaneous prestack elastic inversion was also carried out for quantitative estimates of P-impedance and Vp/Vs ratios which were subsequently analysed using 3D cross plots. Probability distribution functions (PDFs), and a priori lithology class proportions extracted from the well log training data are then applied to the inverted seismic volume. AVA qualitative analyses showed a class-IV top reservoir response, and lithology anomalies interpreted from the scaled S-wave reflectivity attribute map revealed a qualitative spatial distribution of the reservoir sands. The confusion matrix from the best training dataset shows the largest misclassification between shaly sands and shales. PDFs from a rule based ternary lithology classification provided the best resolution for the clean sands. A good match is obtained between horizon attributes generated from angle gathers and that obtained from the clean sand and shaly sand probability maps combined.

  ABSTRACT Understanding the structure of the ocean-continent transition (OCT) in passive margins is greatly enhanced by comparison with onshore analogues. The North Atlantic margins and the “fossil” system in the Scandinavian Caledonides show variations along strike between magma-rich and magma-poor margins, but are different in terms of exposure and degree of maturity. They both display the early stages of the Wilson cycle. Seismic reflection data from the mid-Norwegian margin combined with results from Ocean Drilling Program Leg 104 drill core 642E allow for improved subbasalt imaging of the OCT. Below the Seaward- Dipping Reflector (SDR) sequences, vertical and inclined reflections are interpreted as dike feeder systems. High-amplitude reflections with abrupt termination and saucer-shaped ge- ometries are interpreted as sill intrusions, implying the presence of sediments in the transi- tion zone beneath the volcanic sequences. The transitional crust located below the SDR of the mid-Norwegian margin has a well-exposed analogue in the Seve Nappe Complex (SNC). At Sarek (Sweden), hornfelsed sediments are truncated by mafic dike swarms with densi- ties of 70%–80% or more. The magmatic domain extends for at least 800 km along the Caledonides, and probably reached the size of a large igneous province. It developed at ca. 600 Ma on the margin of the Iapetus Ocean, and was probably linked to the magma-poor hyperextended segment in the southern Scandinavian Caledonides. These parts of the SNC represent an onshore analogue to the deeper level of the mid-Norwegian margin, permitting direct observation and sampling and providing an improved understanding, particularly of the deeper levels, of present-day magma-rich margins.

  Within the context of the southwestern Barents Sea, the southern Stappen High and its transition to the Bjørnøya Basin are more or less still underexplored. Improved quality seismic reflection data are utilised to describe new insights into the Paleozoic to early Cenozoic tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the area, as well as to discuss the structural inheritance and the rift development. Well-defined syn-rift wedges and better resolution images for both the deep Carboniferous and Permian successions are revealed. In particular, both the mid-Carboniferous and Late Permian-earliest Triassic extensional phases are characterized by widespread NE-SW oriented normal faults that are mostly westward dipping. Although Triassic is mostly considered as a tectonically stable period in the Barents Sea, in the Stappen High proper there is clear identification of a localised depocentre (named herein “Intra Stappen Basin”) that extends for ~70 km where syn-tectonic geometries characterize the late Paleozoic and Triassic deposits, indicating tectonically active bounding faults. Regional correlation to Middle and Upper Triassic outcrops in southwestern Svalbard reveals possible similarities to progradation from a west-northwest Northeast Greenland provenance as an additional western sediment source area during the Triassic. Thin but distinct Jurassic sequences are expected to be present on Stappen High associated with prominent regional NW-SE extension throughout Late Jurassic that culminated during the earliest Cretaceous. Furthermore, structural and stratigraphic relations are observed within the study area that clearly indicate a distinct early Aptian rift phase with increasing evidence for its occurrence in the southwestern Barents Sea. Late Cretaceous fault activity was concentrated mostly at the greater Knølegga Fault Complex zone in southwest Stappen High with thick Late Cretaceous sequences bounded by impressive low-angle west-dipping detachment faults, implying a shift at that time from a brittle to a more ductile structural regime. During early Cenozoic, the study area is located at the proximity of the paleo-coastline and paleo-shelf edge for both Paleocene and Eocene gravity mass-waste deposits. These are most probably related to a progressively evolving steep bathymetric gradient between the developing margin, mainly towards the west and to the south, and uplifted areas in the region.

  The studied Goliat Field is the first oil field to be in production in the Norwegian sector of the Barents Sea despite an exploration history spanning over three decades. The reserves within Triassic Snadd Formation were not included in PDO (Plan for Development and Operations). This was due to poorer reservoir properties compared to the Realgrunnen Subgroup and the Kobbe Formation which together constitute the primary reservoir target in the Goliat Field. The field has an expected life time of 15 years. However, this life time can potentially be extended by applying quantitative seismic reservoir characterization techniques within more challenging minor reservoir intervals like the Snadd formation. Fluid discrimination by geophysical technique in uplifted Barents Sea areas has additional challenges as a result of a reduction in the seismic fluid sensitivity associated with rock stiffening (overconsolidation) due to prior deeper burial and quartz cementation. A multidisciplinary approach involving geology, rock physics, and geophysics has been used for petrofacies characterization from long offset prestack angle gathers and petrophysical well logs. A rock physics feasibility and AVA forward modelling reveal the sensitivity of the defined petrofacies classes to different elastic properties. The optimum prestack inversion method is subsequently selected based on the rock physics feasibility. The output from the inversion is used to derive the PEIL (Pseudo-Elastic Impedance), PI (Poisson Impedance), and LMR (Lambda-Mhu-Rho) attributes. These derived prestack attributes are then combined with poststack trace attributes in a neural network analysis. Neural networks utilize the non-linear relationships between the parameters to further optimize the inverted result and to predict the effective porosity, gamma ray, and resistivity log responses. Finally probability density functions (PDFs) extracted from the best well log training dataset are applied to a composite seismic attribute volume from which probability estimates of the classified petrofacies are obtained. Geological interpretations are then inferred based on the seismic geomorphological character observed from the different attributes. Probability maps obtained from this integrated approach has the potential to guide petrophysical reservoir modelling workflows and optimization of reservoir drainage strategies.

Vis sammendrag

  The continental breakup and initial seafloor spreading in the NE Atlantic was accompanied by widespread intrusive and extrusive magmatism and the formation of conjugate volcanic passive margins. These margins are characterized by the presence of seaward dipping reflectors (SDR), an intense network of mafic sheet intrusions of the continental crust and adjacent sedimentary basins and a high-velocity lower crustal body. Nevertheless many issues remain unclear regarding the structure of volcanic passive margins; in particular the transitional crust located beneath the SDR.New and reprocessed seismic reflection data on the Mid-Norwegian margin allow a better sub-basalt imaging of the transitional crust located beneath the SDR. Different high-amplitude reflections with abrupt termination and saucer shaped geometries are identified and interpreted as sill intrusions. Other near vertical and inclined reflections are interpreted as dykes or dyke swarms. We have mapped the extent of the dyke reflections along the volcanic margin. The mapping suggests that the dykes represent the main feeder system for the SDR. The identification of saucer shaped sills implies the presence of sediments in the transitional zone beneath the volcanic sequences. Onshore exposures of Precambrian basement of the eroded volcanic margin in East Greenland show that, locally, the transitional crust is highly intruded by dykes and intrusive complexes with an increasing intensity of the plumbing and dilatation of the continental crust ocean-ward. Another well exposed analogue for a continent-ocean transitional crust is located within the Seve Nappe Complex (SNC) of the Scandinavian Caledonides. The best-preserved parts of SNC in the Pårte, Sarek, Kebnekaise, Abisko, and Indre Troms mountains are composed mainly of meta-sandstones and shales (now hornfelses) truncated typically by mafic dykes. At Sarek and Pårte, the dykes intrude the sedimentary rocks of the Favoritkammen Group, with a dyke density up to 70-80%. This complex was photographed in a regional helicopter survey and sampled for the study of the different dyke generations, their geochemistry and ages in 2014. Extending for at least 800 km within the SNC, the mafic igneous rocks most probably belonged to a volcanic system with the size of a large igneous province (LIP). This volcanic margin is suggested to have formed along the Caledonian margin of Baltica or within hyperextended continental slivers outboard of Baltica during the breakup of Rodinia. The intensity of the pre-Caledonian LIP-magmatism is comparable to that of the NE Atlantic volcanic margins. The SNC-LIP is considered to represent a potential onshore analogue to the deeper level of the Mid-Norwegian margin transitional crust, and permits direct observation, sampling and better understanding of deeper levels of magma-rich margins.
