Sequence Stratigraphy on the Northwest European Margin Proceedings of the Norwegian Petroleum Society Conference, 1-3 February 1993, Stavanger, Norway

About this book

This book takes a critical look at some of the sequence stratigraphy concepts, and provides an account of how these have been applied recently in NW Europe (North Sea, mid Norway and East Greenland, Barents Sea and Svalbard), mainly in connection with the exploration for oil and gas.
