Faroe Shetland Paleocene Stratigraphic Study

Completed June 2008

Fugro Robertson are pleased to announce the completion of a new Integrated Sequence Stratigraphic Modelling Study of the Faroe Shetland Paleocene. This will of particular interest to Oil Companies and Partnerships who are awarded licenses in the region as a result of application in the 25th licensing round.

Fugro Robertson has produced a revised and extended comprehensive sequence stratigraphic study of the Faroe Shetland Paleocene. An innovative, integrated approach using the geoscience disciplines and tools below has been used to provide a regional distribution and correlation of sands and igneous inputs, an understanding of sandbody geometries, provenance and emplacement directions, facies schemes and palaeoenvironmental/depositional models.

  • Chemostratigraphy
  • Biostratigraphy
  • Magnetostratigraphy
  • Sedimentology
  • Wireline Log Analysis
  • Core Descriptions

Geological Evaluation of the Kurdistan Region, Northern Iraq

Completed May 2008.

An ArcGIS product delivering revised geological, structural and framework data for use in the petroleum geological evaluation of the Kurdistan region, northern Iraq.

The aim of the study is to provide regional geological data in a fully attributed ArcGIS format that will include significantly revised digital geological maps, regional palaeogeographic coverage and a detailed summary of the stratigraphic and structural evolution of the region. Reservoir risk is considered to be a critical play factor in the Kurdistan region, northern Iraq, and the reservoirs are dominated by fractured carbonates. In this context, understanding of the timing, nature and geographic distribution of deformation of the region is essential. It is also considered a necessary precursor to the more detailed fracture analysis required at the field level.

The use of satellite data, access to previous reports and geological maps and a suite of recently collected outcrop samples will aid ground truthing. The deliverable for this element of the study will be a fully attributed, significantly updated and quality controlled digital geological map for the study area. Other deliverables will include a stratigraphic review, palaeogeographic maps, plate configuration, play montages, potential trapping style maps and petroleum systems events charts.
