Restoration of the eroded section in the western Barents Sea

Petroleum system analysis of the Hammerfest Basin (southwestern Barents Sea): Comparison of basin modelling and geochemical data

“…The important tectonic events associated with the opening of the North Atlantic, together with the stratigraphic relationships observed within the clastic wedges preserved in the Tertiary-Quaternary depocenters, illustrate the complex geologic history dominated by erosion. This erosion phase began in the Oligocene, after the maximum burial, and culminated during the Plio-Pleistocene glaciations (Nardin and Røssland, 1993). The geologic history in the Barents Sea has been already described by many authors and the reader is referred to these studies for more details (Berglund et al, 1986;Dalland et al, 1988;Dengo and Røssland, 1992;Larsen et al, 1992;Linjordet and Grung-Olsen, 1992;Johansen et al, 1993;Nøttvedt et al, 1993;Reemst et al, 1994;Doré, 1995;Gudlaugsson et al, 1998;O'Leary et al, 2004;Faleide et al, 2008;Ohm et al, 2008;Ritzmann and Faleide, 2009;Glørstad-Clark et al, 2010).…”

“…3, 1992) gave a status of the discussions along the Norwegian shelf. Some major publications from that time discussing the Barents Sea are: Eidvin & Riis (1989), Vorren et al (1991), Nardin & Røssland (1992), Nyland et al (1992), Riis & Fjeldskaar (1992), Riis (1992), Vågnes et al (1992), Richardsen et al (1993) and Saettem et al (1994). More recent studies have increased our understanding further: Doré & Jensen (1996), Riis (1996), Grogan et al (1999), Doré et al (2000Doré et al ( , 2002, Brekke et al (2001), Ryseth et al (2003), Cavanagh et al (2006), Ohm et al (2008) and Anell et al (2009).…”
