A detailed reconstruction of sediments deposited in the Norwegian Sea over the past 65 million years – the Cenozoic sequence – is being extensively used as a foundation for analysing geological plays and prospects.
A sophisticated net erosion map of the Barents Sea has been produced by StatoilHydro using a multi-method, uncertainty-based approach.
The world's reservoirs can now be analysed in three dimensions to help identify areas with high exploration potential.
Large craters and associated melt-water channels on the seabed may indicate the leakage of hydrocarbons from deeper reservoirs or source rocks.
