From Depositional Systems to Sedimentary Successions on the Norwegian Continental Margin (eBook)

Allard W. Martinius works for Statoil R&D with additional experience from technical service (production and exploration) as well as field development. His main interests are in clastic sedimentology and stratigraphy of fluvial and shallow marine systems, fauna-substrate relationships, and static and dynamic reservoir characterization for hydrocarbon production. Rodmar Ravnås is Principal Geologist in Shell Exploration Norway and Associate Professor at University of Stavanger, Norway. His main interest is in clastic sedimentology and the integration of tectonics and depositional systems, and its application to petroleum exploration and prospecting. John Howell is Professor at the University of Aberdeen, UK. Prior to Aberdeen he was at the University of Bergen in Norway and the Chief Geologist at Rocksource ASA. His main interests are in clastic sedimentology, stratigraphy, reservoir modelling and novel methods for the acquisition of digital outcrop data. Ron Steel is Professor at the University of Texas in Austin and Sixth-Century Chair at the University of Aberdeen, UK. His main interests are in clastic sedimentology & stratigraphy, and particularly in the architecture and growth of shelf margins, and the routing of sediment from there to deepwater. Jonathan P. Wonham graduated from Imperial College, London and the University of Liverpool (Ph.D.) and now works for Total in France. He has 25 years of experience as a sedimentologist/petroleum geologist covering the fields of research, development and exploration geology, especially focusing on the North Sea. His publications focus on reservoir evaluation oriented aspects of sequence stratigraphy, tidal deposition, turbidites and mixed siliciclastic-carbonate systems.
