Forskningsprosjekter

Quantification of geological processes in terms of seismic signatures

This project aims to investigate the connection between physical and mechanical properties of sediment and their seismic expression

Carbonate geophysics

This project aims to understand the acoustical behaviour of carbonate rocks in response to changing pressure, pore fluid type and mineral composition.

Seismics and CO2 sequestration

Application of seismics in CO2 storage

Source to sink

The source-to-sink (S2S) concept represents a new generation of basin studies that takes into account sediment erosion, transport and deposition from catchment to deep basin.

Svalbard Palaeogene

Investigation of Palaeogene sandbody geometries in Spitsbergen's Central Basin using outcrop, seismic and LIDAR data

Turbidites and turbiditic systems

Outcrop studies combined with analysis of subsurface 3D seismic data and numerical CFD simulations, aimed to improve our understanding of turbiditic systems and their deposits

Colluvium and colluvial systems

Investigation of the sedimentology, depositional processes and climatic proxy record of colluvial deposits

Dynamic reservoir characterization and monitoring with production, seismic and electromagnetic data

This is a CIPR project in collaboration with the Centre of Mathematics for Application at the University of Oslo and CGGVeritas; sponsored by Statoil, Total, Cevron and Rocksource.

Source-to-Sink Analysis of Rift Basin Tectonics and Sedimentation: Towards Improved Reservoir Prediction

Research on active and ancient fault zones and numerical simulations of rift basins suggest that fault growth, interaction and linkage are primary controls on the evolution of footwall topography, stream networks, hangingwall basin geometry and depositional systems.

Salt Influenced Rift Basins (SIRB)

The Salt Influenced Rift Basins (SIRB) project, sponsored by Statoil, examines rift tectonics and sedimentation on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, focusing on rift basin structural style and evolution and the rift-climax sedimentary response in areas where structure is influenced by the presence of...

Exposures are scanned using a terrestrial LIDAR

The Rift Analogues Project - TRAP

Stratigraphic, sedimentary and structural evolution of extensional depocentres combining traditional field and digital outcrop techniques (LIDAR)

Seismic waveform inversion from fracture parameters

The project deals with seismic waveform inversion for fracture parameters. The principal aim is to develop methods for improved seismic fracture characterization based on a combination of methods for full seismic waveform inversion with anisotropic effective medium theory. A further aim is to...
