Abstract

Sedimentological studies of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic succession in central East Greenland were initiated in 1987 as a three-year research fellowship programme supported by British Petroleum Development, London (Dam, 1988). The study is primarilya lithofacies analysis, but ichnology, palynology sourcerock analysis, porosity/permeability analysis and diagenetic studies are also included in the programme. The stratigraphic interval includes the Kap Stewart and Neill Klinter Formations which have many features in common with stratigraphically equivalent formations in offshore mid- and northem Norway that form some of the most important potential petroleum reservoirs in these areas.

The stratigraphic interval includes the Kap Stewart and Neill Klinter Formations which have many features in common with stratigraphically equivalent formations in offshore mid- and northem Norway that form some of the most important potential petroleum reservoirs in these areas. Sedimentological studies involved detailed lithofacies and ichnofacies analyses as well as sampling for palynofacies analyses, source rock analyses and reservoir rock properties
