Jurassic-Cretaceous Extensional Basins of the Goliat Area, Barents Shelf.
The present study is done to analyse the growth basin development of Jurassic-Cretaceous age in the Goliat field. There are three fault trends in Goliat area with TFFC having the longest history of activity and exhibits a stepped geometry which penetrates deep into the Pre-Permian strata. The MF1 fa...
