f Paleocene Deep-Water Depositional Systems along the Eastern Margin of the Frontier Møre and Vøring Basins, Mid-Norway

1003 PALEOCENE DEEP-WATER DEPOSITIONAL SYSTEMS ALONG THE EASTERN MARGIN OF THE FRONTIER MØRE AND VØRING BASINS MID-NORWAY Paleocene deep-water depositional systems along the eastern margin of the Møre and Vøring Basins offshore Mid-Norway are proven and potential reservoir-bearing units within the Cenozoic stratigraphic succession.
