Upper Jurassic play concept - an integrated study in Block 34/7, Norway

In recent years the integration of a predictive geological model with seismic data has become common in the oil industry in the search for the subtle trap, Such an integrated approach has been used by Saga Petroleum in order to define a well location in an Upper Jurassic stratigraphic play concept in the western part of NOCS Block 34/7. For the License it was important to investigate this possibility as relinquishment of acre was imminent, and the area could only be retained if hydrocarbons were proved by drilling. This article describes the main procedures used in the study. The main implications following the result of the exploration well 34/7-21 and further work related to the H-Discovery are also mentioned.
