This document presents several untested play models in oil and gas exploration blocks in the Norwegian North Sea. It identifies potential traps and leads within different stratigraphic levels, including the Palaeocene and Jurassic sections. Seismic data is analyzed to illustrate features indicating potential hydrocarbon reservoirs. However, the document notes that more seismic data would be needed to fully evaluate the salt-related traps. Main risks to the identified prospects include uncertainty regarding both trap integrity and hydrocarbon source rocks.

This
presenta,on
is
made
to
give
some
few
examples
of
tested
and
untested
play
models
in
the
North
Sea.
No

2. Along
Reke
Fault
zone
several
minor
leads
are
found
at
Upper
Jurassic
level.
There
are
also
poten,al
within
Palaeocene
and
Upper
Cretaceous
sec,on
within
previous
APA
2006
acreage
east
of
Block
7/8.
Main
risks
associated
with
these
leads
are
source
and
trap
integrity.
Explora,on
well
8/10-足1
was
drilled
on
a
gentle
salt
dome
structure
about
12
km
west
of
the
Ula
Field
on
the
S淡rvestlandet
High.
The
objec,ves
were
to
test
Ter,ary
and
Mesozoic
horizons.
More
speci鍖cally,
the
well
should
test
the
Ter,ary
Miocene
sec,on
equivalent
to
the
gas-足bearing
sand
sec,on
in
well
2/3-足1
(35
miles
southeast),
Eocene
sands
which
had
minor
gas
shows
in
well
7/8-足1
(25
miles
northwest)
and
with
oil
shows
in
the
Shell
1/3-足1,
Palaeocene
sands
produc,ve
in
the
Cod
Field
(25
miles
east),
fractured
Upper
Cretaceous
limestone
with
condensate
and
gas
shows
in
well
1/3-足1
(20
miles
southwest),
and
Jurassic
and
Triassic
sands
that
were
very
porous
and
permeable
in
well
7/8-足1.
The
laaer
also
had
small
shows
in
wells
7/8-足1
and
9/4-足1
(50
miles
northwest).
We
therefore
believe
there
are
poten,al
lee
in
Palaeocene
sec,on
as
well
as
other
stra,graphic
levels
in
Ter,ary
sec,on.
Both
a
structural
and
stra,graphic
lead
can
be
iden,鍖ed
within
Block
8/10
as
well
as
a
structural
trap
at
Jurassic
level.
Main
risks
are
both
trap
integrity
as
well
as
source
for
these
leads/traps.
Salt
related
traps
are
in
need
of
beaer
seismic
imaging,
and
therefore
good
seismic
quality
is
cri,cal
for
these
trap
types.
We
judge
Blocks
7/9
and
8/7
to
have
poten,al
for
salt
induced
associated
traps
within
Palaeocene
as
well
as
at
Jurassic
level.
Several
traps
have
been
iden,鍖ed
and
in
excess
of
5
leads
have
been
iden,鍖ed
within
these
2
blocks.
Within
Block
7/2
there
are
several
plays
within
Upper
Cretaceous
and
Lower
Palaeocene
levels.
These
plays
have
been
presented
in
previous
concession
works
performed
by
Valioso
Ltd.
Valioso

has
iden,鍖ed
poten,al
leads
with
volumes
in
Place
ranging
from
5-足45
MSm3
for
these
traps.
