Shallow fluid seepage systems in the Hammerfest Basin and adjacent Fault complex
This study was carried out using three high resolution 3D P-cable seismic datasets to explore shallow gas distribution and possible fluid migration pathways in the Snøhvit field and Ringvassøy-Loppa Fault Complex. The Snøhvit field situated in the center of the Hammerfest Basin is oil and gas field...
