  • Description
    Klippfisk Formation

     Name
    Norwegian for “stockfish”, “dried cod”.
    Well type section
    Norwegian well 7430/10-U-01, coordinates N 74°12'47.79", E 30°14'44.22"
    Well reference section
    Norwegian well 7231/01-U-01 coordinates N 72°45'12.45" , E 31°07'30.21"
    Thickness
    In the type well the gross thickness of the formation is 8.9 m and in the reference well 4.5 m. 15 m on Kong Karls Land.
    Lithology
    Limestone, marl and calcareous sandstone.
    Description
    The Klippfisk Formation represents a condensed carbonate succession occurring in platform areas ( Kutling Member ), where it consists of limestones and marls, and is often glauconitic. The limestones may have a nodular appearance. Fossil debris, dominated by Inoceramus prisms may be abundant. The formation is strongly bioturbated.
    In Kong Karls Land the coeval Tordenskjoldberget Member has a similar lithology and is assigned to the Klippfisk Formation.
    The Klippfisk Formation is the carbonate platform time-equivalent of the     Knurr Formation (Hammerfest Basin) and the Rurikfjellet Formation (Svalbard). The unit has also been penetrated by shallow drilling and sampling in Hopendjupet and in the Olga Basin as well as farther south in the Barents Sea.
    Lower boundary definition
    The base is defined at the abrupt decrease in gamma ray intensity, where the dark mudstones of the underlying formation are replaced by marls.
    Distribution
    Offshore unit, known from the Bjarmeland Platform and Kong Karls Land.
    Age
    Late Berriasian to Hauterivian, based on palynology, nanofossils and bivalves.
