Reservoir potential in the Klappmyss Formation, Barents Sea
Master's thesis in Petroleum Geosciences engineering By May 2012 there are a total of 91 exploration and appraisal wells in the Norwegian sector of the Barents Sea, and more than 300 000 km of seismic reflection data. Moreover, estimation from Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) favours Baren...

Master's thesis in Petroleum Geosciences engineering By May 2012 there are a total of 91 exploration and appraisal wells in the Norwegian sector of the Barents Sea, and more than 300 000 km of seismic reflection data.
