Seismic interpretation at the Horda Platform, North Sea. Detailed characterization of Sognefjord Formation.
Due to the intense hydrocarbon exploration the North Sea has become one of the most studied area in the world with respect to seismic surveys, exploration drilling to learn about sedimentary architecture of rift zones. Following the discovery of Troll Field in 1979, a large amount of exploration wel...
