| Summary: | In 1997, petroleum geological activities were continued in East Greenland in order to increase existing knowl-edge on the sedimentology and biostratigraphy of the Upper Permian – Mesozoic succession, and to better define and describe the petroleum systems of the basin. The activities form part of the multidisciplinary research project ‘Resources of the sedimentary basins of North and East Greenland ’ initiated in 1995 with financial sup-port from the Danish Research Councils, and were mostly continuations of pre- and post-doctoral research (Stemmerik et al. 1996, 1997). Some new activities were initiated during the 1997 season with financial support from Saga Petroleum a.s.a., Norway; they included an evaluation of the thermal effects and diagenetic changes resulting from Paleogene intrusions and a more detailed sedimentological study of the newly identified Jurassic succession of northern Hold with Hope (Stemmerik et al. 1997). Five teams worked in the region in July and |
