The Fylla structural complex: possible very large gas reserves offshore southern West Greenland

Abstract

This paper outlines the evidence for the possible existence of very large gas reserves offshore southern West Greenland. It is a slightly modified version of a paper published in the Oil & Gas Journal, August 22nd 1994. Recent interpretation of new seismic data acquired off­shore southern West Greenland (Fig. 1) has identified a number of structural leads which may contain gas reserves with a cumulative volume of the order of 100 tcf. The presence of two flat-spots with clear Amplitude Versus Offset (AYO) effects overlying a possible oil column is the most direct indication of the occurrence of gas in the area.
