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.
