Description
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
Name From the fish species Hippoglossus hippoglossus (halibut). The formation has not previously been differentiated.
Well type section Well 7119/12-1 (Statoil), coordinates 71°06'08.00"N, 19°47'40.29"E, from 1059 m to 810 m (Fig 4.57).
Well reference section Well 7119/7-1 (Norsk Hydro), coordinates 71°23'42.40"N, 19°15'18.43"E, from 2529 m to 1331.5 m.
Thickness Approximately 1200 m in the reference well, thinning eastwards to 249 m in the type well.
Lithology Greenish-grey to grey shales and claystones show thin interbeds of limestone and siltstone. A tuffaceous and/or glauconitic component is reported from several wells.
Basal Stratotype The formation is characterized by a lower gamma response and higher interval transit time than the underlying unit. A basal sand in the type well gives a marked break in both these logs. The boundary in this well is also marked by a sudden increase in bulk

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.
