• Description

  Hermod Formation
  
  Name

  Hermod was a son of Odin, and was known as "the quick one".

  Well type section

  Norwegian well 25/2-6 from 2361 m to 2221 m, coordinates N 59°45'33.55", E 02°33'05.96" (Fig 5.56) . No cores.

  Well reference section

  UK well 10/1-1A from 2212 m to 2127 m, coordinates N 59°50'10.50", E 02°00'33.60" (Fig 5.48) . No cores.

  Thickness

  The Hermod Formation is 140 m thick in the type well and 85 m thick in the reference well. It thickens towards the centre of its distribution area (Fig 5.47) .

  Lithology

  The Hermod Formation consists of clean sandstones which are very fine to fine grained and clear to grey. The formation is to a limited extent interbedded with dark shales.

  Basal stratotype

  The lower boundary of the Hermod Formation is identified by a transition from the shales of the Lista Formation . This boundary essentially represents the boundary between the Lista and Sele formations, and the Hermod Formation may rest on shales of the Sele Formation . The log response in both cases is a sharp transition from the high gamma-ray readings and low velocity of the shales to the low and regular gamma-ray readings and higher velocity of the Hermod Formation sandstones (Fig 5.56) . Where the Hermod Formation rests directly on the Heimdal Formation the boundary may be indistinct, but the log response changes from an erratic pattern in the Heimdal Formation to a smoother one, reflecting the more homogeneous sandstones of the Hermod Formation.

  Characteristics of the upper boundary

  The Hermod Formation is overlain by the time-equivalent Sele Formation , and the boundary is an abrupt change from sandstones to dark shales. The gamma-ray response changes from low readings in the sandstones to significantly higher ones in the Sele Formation , and the velocity is lower in the Sele Formation (Fig 5.56) .

  Distribution

  The Hermod Formation is found in the South Viking Graben, in the northwestern part of quadrant 25. It may also be found in other parts of the South Viking Graben. The main distribution area is outlined in (Fig 5.47) .

  Age

  Late Paleocene.

  Depositional environment

  The Hermod Formation was deposited in submarine fan systems connected with the deltaic Moray Group in the west.
