This study investigated the sedimentology and the sequence stratigraphy of the Late Permian Kapp Starostin Formation in the southwestern part of Dickson Land, central Spitsbergen. The underlying Gipshuken Formation and the overlying Triassic Formation, as well as their boundaries to the Kapp Starostin Formation, were also investigated. In the Barents Sea, the Tempelfjorden Group is represented by the Røye and Ørret formations. The measured section in Dickson Land was compared to an age-equivalent spiculitic unit of the Røye Formation from the Loppa High in the Barents Sea. The core section is approximately 50.3 m long and is a part of the reservoir in the Gohta discovery (well 7120/1-3). Fourteen depositional facies have been recognized from the investigated succession in Dickson Land, and another three facies from the core section from well 7120/1-3. The facies have been grouped into 6 facies associations, where FA1 and FA2 comprises the strata of the Gipshuken Formation, FA3, FA4 and FA5 comprises the strata of the Kapp Starostin Formation and FA6 comprises the strata of the Triassic Vikinghøgda Formation.
