Late Jurassic tectonostratigraphic evolution of the eroded Brage horst area

This Master's project was assigned to Lenya Kamal Karim who started the Master's program in Earth sciences, ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´, fall 2025. The Master's project is given by the research group Geodynamics and basin studies.

Project description

The aim is to explore the source-to-sink system associated with the Brage horst and the graben between the Brage and Oseberg fields using well information and seismic data. The following tasks will be covered:

• Seismic interpretation of key horizons and faults. Well information and surfaces for guidance will be provided by OKEA.

• Simple structural restoration of selected sections, selected on the basis of well information and seismic quality.

• Investigate the relationship between the erosion of the Brage horst, structural evolution and depocenter history (stratigraphic thickness variations) in the graben between Brage and Oseberg.

• Study fault segment development and linkage trough time of the Brage main fault

• Interpret erosion product fairways from the horst into the graben, and sediment transport inside the graben.

• The rectangle in the map may alternatively be shifted southwards, so that focus is on the Bestla structure, instead of the Veslefrikk structure.
