Description
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
Name An old German mining term referring to the sediments of several saline rock cycles above the Kupferschiefer (Copper Shale).
Type area Well 7/3-1 (Amoco/Noco) and well 17/4-1 (Petronord) (Fig 1.9-11). illustrate the lithology of the Zechstein Group in the Norwegian sector.
Thickness The Zechstein Group is very variable in thickness, partly as a result of post-depositional salt movements (halokinesis). The succession possibly exceeds 1500 m in thickness in central parts of the Norwegian-Danish Basin.
Lithology Evaporates and carbonates with local clastic rocks. Halites dominate the basin-centre sequences, while limestones, dolomites and anhydrates prevail along the basin margins. Well 17/4-1 shows a thick halite-rich section which is not significantly dist
