Description

WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE

Name Cutbill & Challinor (1965) introduced the term Tempelfjorden Group for a suite of spiculites, spiculitic chert, silicified limestones and fine-grained siliciclastics of mid- to late Permian age. The type area is in the innermost part of Isfjorden in central Spitsbergen. The Tempelfjorden Group is a well-established lithostratigraphic unit; its overall facies development and depositional evolution have been described by Steel & Worsley (1984) and Ezaki et al. (1994).

Offshore reference areas The southern Loppa High – Hammerfest Basin, the Bjarmeland Platform and the eastern Finnmark Platform illustrate the quite significant variations in the group’s development offshore (Fig 9.51). The group is thickly developed along the southern margins of the Loppa High where it has been penetrated by wells 7121/1-1 R and 7120/1-1 R2. The upper parts of the group were penetrated by <a href="javascript:void(window.open('https://factpages.sodir.no/factpages/Default.aspx?nav1=wellbore&nav2=PageView|Exploration|All&nav3=107&menu=No','popup','width=700,height=800,resizable=yes,scrollbar

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.
