Description
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
Name From the Norwegian name for wharf or quay. The formation corresponds to the informally used Narvik Formation (H6-1).
Well type section Well 6407/1-3 (Statoil), coordinates 64°52'25.48"N, 07°02'53.47"E, from 2212.5 m to 1762.5 m (Fig 4.37). No cores.
Thickness 450 m in the type well.
Lithology Mainly claystone with stringers of sandstone, siltstone, limestone and marl. Pyrite, glauconite and shell fragments are seen in the sandstones.
Basal Stratotype The base is defined by a decrease in interval transit time shown on the sonic log and by an increase in the density log readings.
Lateral extent and variation The Brygge Formation is ubiquitous across Haltenbanken, but it is absent on the crest of the Nordland Ridge. A sand-dominated succession of Oligocene age, termed the Røyrvik formation, has been mapped (but not formally defined) off the Møre-Trøndelag coast (Askvik and Rokoengen, 1985). The Rørvik formation probably interfingers with the fine grained Brygge Formation to the west.
Age Early Eocene to Early Miocene.

About this data
Norwegian Offshore Directorate (Sodir) FactPages, mirrored nightly and used under the Norwegian Licence for Open Government Data (NLOD). Tops and cored lengths are the Directorate's, per wellbore and unit; the percentiles are computed from those tops and are depths along the wellbore, not true vertical depth.
