SINTEF Petroleum Research, in co-operation with AGR Petroleum Services (assisted by APT), Fugro Geolab Nor and Geotrack International, has started working on a new petroleum systems modelling study.

The study will cover the area from 70° to 74° N and from 16° 20' to 22° E as outlined on the flyer. More details will be provided on this webpage as work progresses.

Study results will be available in August 2012, in time for the application for the 22nd licensing round. Deadline for early participation is the 1st of May.

In contrast to the Integrated Barents Sea Study of 2005 and the Basin Modelling Upgrade of 2008 the present study will:

• cover a smaller region but make use of newly generated and more detailed depth maps,
• be based on a much more detailed fault model,
• include pressure modelling,
• concentrate on petroleum migration into selected Mesozoic play types, and
• assess uncertainties of the petroleum systems modelling using Monte-Carlo-type sensitivity analysis.
