O-27 COMPACTION MODEL FOR QUARTZOSE SANDSTONES. APPLICATION TO THE GARN FORMATION HALTENBANKEN MID- NORWEGIAN CONTINENTAL SHELF PART II – TESTING S. HAY 1 and F. SCHNEIDER 2 Abstract 1 1 Statoil 4035 Stavanger Norway 2 Institut Français du Pétrole The visco-elasto-plastic model for chemical compaction described by Schneider & Hay (2001) has been tested in the Haltenbanken area off Mid Norway and appears to be suitable for use in a fully coupled basin scale simulator. In the case study presented here we show that we can satisfactorily model observed phenomena such as porosity overpressures and hydrocarbon distribution. We also show
