Abstract

The depositional pattern of the Upper Permian Wegener Halvø Formation is mainly controlled by the karst topography of the surface of the underlying Karstryggen Formation. The area was divided by a NNW–SSE trending depositional and/or erosional high during Late Permian times. Peritidal carbonates and evaporites are dominant on the platform to the west while to the east oolite and biogene grainstone deposits dominate. Reservoir-quality properties are mainly confined to the grainstone deposits east of the high.
