  • Description
    Kviting Formation

     Name
    From the fish species Merlangius merlangus (whiting). The formation has not been differentiated previously.
    Well type section
    Well 7120/12-1 (Norsk Hydro), coordinates 71°06'48.7"N, 20°45'20.1"E, from 742 m to 725 m (Fig 4.55) .
    Well reference section
    Well 7121/5-1 (Statoil), coordinates 71°35'54.88"N, 21°24'21.78"E, from 1036 m to 1005 m (Fig 4.56) .
    Thickness
    17 m in the type well. 31 m in the reference well.
    Lithology
    The type section shows calcareous sandstones with interbedded sandy and glauconitic mudstones. Limestones in the reference well are interbedded with, and grade up into sandy claystones.
    Basal Stratotype
    The base is defined in the type well by log breaks showing a sharp fall in gamma response and interval transit time, and increasing density.
    Lateral extent and variation
    The unit is apparently restricted to central and eastern parts of the Hammerfest Basin.
    Age
    Campanian.
    Depositional environment
    Deep to shallow shelf environments with normal circulation are indicated.
