Description

WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE

Sediments of Triassic age beneath the Åre Formation have been encountered in a number of wells offshore mid-Norway. Based on their colour the Triassic section in the Norwegian Sea has been informally divided into “Grey Beds” and “Red Beds”. The “Grey Beds” sediments represent continental clastics of grey colour, deposited in a more humid climate compared to the “ “Red Beds” sediments. Thicknesses of more than 2500 meters have been drilled. No type well section has been established.

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.
