Abstract

An oil geological project was started in Jameson Land in 1982 (Surlyk, 1983; Surlyk et al., in press). The field work part of the project was completed in 1983. A major source rock programme, focusing on the evaluation of potential onshore and offshore source rocks, is central to the project.

Highlights

  • The main objective of drilling both in 1982 and 1983 was the Upper Permian black shale, which is considered to be promising as a possibie source rock in Jameson Land

  • In addition to the drilling programme detailed stratigraphic and sedimentological studies were undertaken in the Lower Permian, Upper Permian and lowermost Triassic sequences

  • Permian deposition teok place in a system of alluvial fans formed along the main western border fault

The first in Upper Permian reef carbonate (7, fig. 36) and the second in Upper Permian black shale and Lower Triassic shale (8, fig. 36); three in the Upper Jurassic Hareelv Formation at Sjællandselv (4, 5, 6, fig. 36). The first in Upper Permian reef carbonate 36) and the second in Upper Permian black shale and Lower Triassic shale 36); three in the Upper Jurassic Hareelv Formation at Sjællandselv The core recovery was approximately 95 per cent and a total of 317 cumulative metres were drilled.
