Abstract:
The Faroe-Shetland region has been exposed to a long history of tectonic events and the geology in the area is rather complex. This history has led to the formation large metasedimentary deposits, though the origin of these deposits is not yet fully understood. Possible source areas are Greenland, Norway and Scotland. To give a further understanding of the geology in the Faroe-Shetland basin and its regional relationship this study will analyze metasediments to classify them and compare them with other related sediments. Geochemical, petrographical and isotopic data will be for classification.

Abstract:
2D and 3D seismic reflection data in the Faroe-Shetland Basin have been used to remotely study buried, large-scale Palaeocene volcanic structures emplaced during continental flood basalt volcanism in the Faroe-Shetland Basin. The flood basalts were emplaced as thick and extensive pāhoehoe lava flows from multiple sources, including fissure systems close to the Faroese shelf and from volcanic centres within the basin. This thesis has investigated the distribution and internal structure of the flood basalts based on the hypothesis that volcanic eruptions produce volcanic depositional successions

Abstract:
This thesis investigated the palaeoceanographic history of the Faeroe Shetland Basin, NE Atlantic, via identification and analysis of contourite drift deposits using petroleum industry seismic and well data. Integration of regional 2D seismic lines, 3D seismic volumes and high resolution seismic profiles w ith industrial well data permitted full spatial and temporal characterisation of the contourites within the basin, including identification of small scale architectural elements and subtle stratigraphic relationships. In turn, it was possible to make interpretations regarding the palaeoceano

Abstract:
The large volume of intrusive igneous material associated with volcanic rift margins introduces significant uncertainty to both hydrocarbon exploration and subsequent prospectivity. Understanding the habit, emplacement and distribution of such material in the context of rift evolution is essential to understanding the evolution of volcanic rift margins. The recent availability of high-quality 3D seismic data from the rift basins of the NE Atlantic Margin has enhanced our understanding of the 3D geometry and emplacement mechanisms of sill intrusions. Although how these intrusions fit within the

Abstract:
Seismic stratigraphic analyses of the late Palaeocene-Present transitional to post-rift succession in the Faroe-Shetland Basin and Faroe Graben (FSC) on the NE Atlantic volcanic passive continental margin have revealed the occurrence of a early Eocene dendritic palaeo-drainage system and Middle Eocene-Miocene contractional inversion structures. The palaeo-drainage system consists of a significant NNW-SSE trending distributary channel (40km long, 5km wide and up to 400m deep), fed by numerous tributaries (100m deep). The drainage system incised into a major delta system (Colsay Sandstone Member

Abstract:
The investigation of the role of basin-scale forcing on the circulation of the Faroe-Shetland Channel (FSC) is important to further understanding of the inter-annual variability of the Atlantic water (AW) fluxes in this region. The FSC plays a key role in the transfer of warm and saline AW towards the Nordic Seas that is an integral part of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation which is projected to decline over the twenty-first century and might reduce the oceanic heat and salt transports towards the Arctic. So far little attention has been paid to the mechanisms driving the AW flux

Abstract:
A detailed investigation of the Eocene stratigraphy in the Faroe-Shetland Basin was undertaken with a view to developing a basin-wide seismic-stratigraphic framework in order to describe the palaeogeographic evolution and depositional architecture of the basin. This study has tested the applicability of sequence stratigraphy on a regional and local scale and outlines the major depositional controls on the succession. Integration of seismic, well and biostratigraphic data has allowed for the identification of four regionally correlatable seismic-stratigraphic units which document the basin fill

Abstract:
This study has explored the phenomenon of basin-wide sand intrusion. Two case studies from regions with very different tectonic and depositional histories, host rock successions and intrusion geometries have been used to examine sand intrusion in the subsurface. Striking first-order similarities between the two contrasting case studies are apparent 1) the basin-wide nature of the sand intrusion event 2) the strong temporal link between the intrusion of sand and major tectonic events within the basin. It therefore appears likely that sand remobilisation in the subsurface and subsequent sand int

Abstract:
Geochemical analysis of the volcanic interval in Well 214/4-1, Faeroe-Shetland Basin, has enabled a correlation to the Lower Basalt Formation of the Faeroe Islands, ca. 240 km to the W. The volcanic interval consists of a ca. 450 m thick sequence of hyaloclastites, which are overlain by a ca. 50 m thick subaerial lava sequence. This volcanic interval is interpreted to have formed at a palaeoshoreline environment, where subaerial lavas flowed from the land surface into a substantial body of water at least 450 m deep (i.e. the Faeroe-Shetland Basin at that time), resulting in the quenching and f

Abstract:
The Middle Jurassic Brent Group was deposited within northward prograding wave dominated delta system which developed in the North Viking Graben-East Shetland Basin. Five formations are readily distinguished in core and on wireline logs, each representing a distinctly separate depositional environment. Poorly sorted, subarkosic sandstones comprise the Broom Formation at the base of the Brent Group and are interpreted as having been deposited within an alluvial to shallow marine fan delta system, from proximal to distal gravity flows. In contrast to other formations of the Brent Group, the Broo

Abstract:
Petroleum migration pathways through a basin are determined by the three-dimensional distribution of discontinuous sealing surfaces, which are usually parallel to bedding. The petroleum migrates below the sealing surface taking the structurally most advantageous route. The three-dimensional distribution of migration pathways within the petroleum system can be modelled on a personal computer using a program based on the parameters developed during the research summarised in this thesis. Application of the model to the Paris, Williston, West of Shetlands and Wessex Basins demonstrates that a goo

Abstract:
The Heidrun field is located in the Halten Terrace of the Mid-Norwegian Continental Shelf and is one of the first giant oil fields found on the Norwegian Sea. Modern 3D seismic reflection data acquired over the field, as well as well data were used to define the key structural and stratigraphic elements within the study area. The basic geologic history of the Heidrun field is typical of most North Sea plays, and includes Triassic rift sequences that are masked by the reactivation of bounding faults that were active during the Jurassic rift phase. This rifting phase was followed by deposition o
