“…The present margin configuration results from three main rifing episodes: in Carboniferous to Permian, in late MidJurassic to Early Cretaceous and in Late Cretaceous to Early Eocene times (Bukovics et al, 1984;Gabrielsen et al, 1984;Price and Rattey, 1984;Surlyk et al, 1984;Brekke and Riis, 1987;Blystad et al, 1995;Doré and Lundin, 1996;Brekke, 2000). The last episode of rifting, leading to continental breakup at ca.…”

“…The tectonic activity that has given the present structural configuration of the Norwegian Sea continental margin may be traced back into the Permo-Carboniferous (Bukovics et al 1984;Gabrielsen et al 1984;Brekke & Riis 1987;Blystad et al 1995). Three main rifting episodes are identified (Fig.…”

“…The industry focused on the Late Palaeozoic and Mesozoic geological development and based their regional tectonic models on the geology of the shallow water shelf area and the geology of East Greenland (e.g Ronnevik & Navrestad 1977;Bukovics et al 1984;B0en et al 1984;Surlyk et al 1984;Price & Rattey 1984;Gabrielsen et al 1984;Brekke & Riis 1987;Surlyk 1990;Dore 1991;Torske & Prestvik 1991). The academic institutions continued their studies of the outer parts of the continental margin (Hinz et al 1984;Mutter et al 1984;Skogseid & Eldholm 1987, 1989Eldholm et al 1989;Planke et al 1991;Skogseid et al 1992).…”

The focus of exploration activity on the Norwegian Sea Continental Shelf has shifted westwards from the shallow water areas over the Trondelag Platform and Halten Terrace to the deep water areas over the Cretaceous Voring and More basins. The basins, especially the Voring Basin, have been involved in a complex tectonic development since the main extensional phase in the late Middle Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, including Cenomanian-Campanian and Maastrichtian-Eocene extension and thermal uplift and intermittent phases of compression/transpression. While the Jurassic is the prospective interval in the Trondelag Platform and Halten Terrace, the potential in the Voring and More basins is seen mainly in the Cretaceous and Paleocene -the Jurassic is too deeply buried. The two first deep water exploration wells in these basins, 6707/10-1 and 6305/5-1, have already proven two effective plays, with excellent reservoir sands in the Upper Cretaceous and lower Paleocene charged with thermogenic gas in structural traps in rotated fault blocks and compressional domes. Palaeogeographical reconstructions indicate that these reservoir rocks may be widespread within the basin areas. No good oil-prone source rock at a suitable depth of burial is so far proven, but the palaeogeographical reconstructions linked to surrounding well data and regional analyses indicate a chance for the existence of Upper Cretaceous oil source intervals. The thermal history of the basins is as complex as their tectonic history, and is further complicated by the possible effects of the Paleocene-Eocene magmatic activity, making any basin modelling results at the present stage unreliable.
