Abstract:
Four years of exploration activity offshore Troms has resulted in four gas discoveries, with total resources of 170 109 cu m (6,000 109 cu ft) recoverable gas. Shows of heavy, waxy oil are present in most wells. Recent regional studies on structural evolution and organic geochemistry suggest that, in parts of the area where exploration activities have been concentrated so far, the oil-prone source rock has not been mature enough to expel the generated oil. In other parts, all potential source rocks became overmature 100 million years ago because of extreme subsidence during the Early Cretaceous. The regional studies clea ly demonstrate the close relationship between the structural evolution and the hydrocarbon potential of the region. The different regional, structural elements are individual provinces with respect to hydrocarbon potential. The remaining hydrocarbon potential within Tromsoflaket is fair.
