.... The relatively shallow depth (800–1000 m) of Utsira Formation in the Sleipner area also makes the Sleipner CO 2 injection site a good proxy for understanding the effects of overburden stratigraphy for deeper injection sites, giving important knowledge of detectability of thin, shallow CO 2 accumulations. Finally...

...Joanna H. W. Kho; Max A. Meju; Roger V. Miller; Ahmad Shahir Saleh ABSTRACT Understanding the deep structural controls on reservoir distribution and overburden heterogeneity is important for near-field exploration and green-field development of the Miocene to Holocene carbonate buildups in Central...

... , this issue). Continued rifting in the Triassic and Early Jurassic coupled with increased sedimental loading on the salt and regional tectonic tilting resulted in gravity-driven sliding of postsalt overburden from the basin margins toward basin centers such as the Sole Pit and Silverpit Basins ( Van Hoorn...

... as a sealing mudstone facies. The overlying sandstone, siltstone, and conglomerate of the Glenns Ferry Formation act as the overburden to the petroleum system in the subsurface, and were important for burial and hydrocarbon maturation. The Glenns Ferry Formation is up to 500 ft (150 m) thick in the study area...
