Abstract

Abstract Abstract: Situated in the southeastern part of the East Shetland Basin, the Alwyn North Field produces oil and gas from Brent Group reservoirs and gas and condensate from the Statfjord Formation. The structural style is of tilted and eroded fault blocks dipping to the west and aligned north-south conforming to the principal normal fault trend. NE-SW cross elements further separate the hydrocarbon accumulations. The hydrocarbon columns are restricted to the Tarbert and upper part of the Ness Formation of the Brent Group, in sediments associated with the retreat of the Brent delta. The Statfjord Formation was deposited in an alluvial, fan-delta setting with increasing marine influence towards the top of the formation.
