Petroleum geokjemisk studie av brønn 7122/2-1 og 7122/7-1 i Goliatfunnet og sammenligning med andre petroleumsforekomter i Hammerfestbassenget

Abstract

Abstract

The Goliath discovery which occurs proximal in he Hammerfest Basin is particular for its size and it contents of oil, whilst other traps in the Hammerfest Basin are largely containing gas/condensate and generally only thin oil rims. This thesis presents details about the vertical distribution of petroleum in two wells from this discovery (7122/2-1 and 7122/7-1), and the data are compared and discussed in the context of maturity, organic facies and biodegradation/phase fractionation. The data from Goliath are then compared with a regional data base consisting of several of the discoveries made in the Hammerfest Basin. Conclusions are drawn as to the potential relationship between the oil in Golaith and the condensates of the region, most likely source and feed direction for the oil in Goliath. Furthermore, why to believe that there to be oil and not gas in this structure, and the impact this model could have for further prospects in this region.
