The Loppa High Composite Tectono-Sedimentary Element is a mature exploration area in the south-western Norwegian Barents Sea hosting Skrugard (2012) and the Late Paleozoic Gohta (2013) discoveries. The exploration of the Loppa High started in 1985, and today this is the most studied area of the Barents Shelf which subsurface mapping is based on dense coverage of modern 3D and 2D seismic data and drilling results of over 40 exploration wells. This chapter summarizes the tectono-sedimentary and sub regional development and the petroleum geology of the Loppa High.
