The Permian of the Western Margin of the Greenland Sea—A Future Exploration Target
-
Published:January 01, 1986
Abstract
The Upper Permian of central East Greenland contains a relatively thick, widely distributed, oil-prone source rock. It occurs directly adjacent to large, carbonate buildups that constitute the main potential reservoirs. It is immediately overlain by thick, coarse-grained sandstones that are also a potential reservoir. The whole sequence is draped by Upper Permian and Lower Triassic shales that may act as a seal.

Future Petroleum Provinces of the World

Based on a 1984 conference, this volume is a compilation of 31 of the papers presented at that conference. These articles address the challenging questions of where the world's explorationists must search for petroleum. Potential and prospective areas discussed include: Antarctica, Circum-Arctic, Alaska, Arctic basins of Canada, Eastern Canada, Amazon, Gulf of Mexico, U.S. Atlantic margin, Arabia, Mozambique, Ghana, Australia, northwestern China, Philippine Islands, west Siberia, Mediterranean, Sicily, North Sea, Norway, Greenland sea, and the Barents sea.
