Abstract

The first detailed interpretation of the structure and geological development of the Melville Bay area based on reflection seismic data was completed in June 1994 as part of the KANUMAS project (Larsen & Pulvertaft 1990). This marks the first step in the exploration for petroleum offshore North-West Greenland and has resulted in renewed optimism for the oil potential of the region.
