  • Description
    Kveite Formation

     Name
    From the fish species Hippoglossus hippoglossus (halibut). The formation has not previously been differentiated.
    Well type section
    Well 7119/12-1 (Statoil), coordinates 71°06'08.00"N, 19°47'40.29"E, from 1059 m to 810 m (Fig 4.57) .
    Well reference section
    Well 7119/7-1 (Norsk Hydro), coordinates 71°23'42.40"N, 19°15'18.43"E, from 2529 m to 1331.5 m.
    Thickness
    Approximately 1200 m in the reference well, thinning eastwards to 249 m in the type well.
    Lithology
    Greenish-grey to grey shales and claystones show thin interbeds of limestone and siltstone. A tuffaceous and/or glauconitic component is reported from several wells.
    Basal Stratotype
    The formation is characterized by a lower gamma response and higher interval transit time than the underlying unit. A basal sand in the type well gives a marked break in both these logs. The boundary in this well is also marked by a sudden increase in bulk density readings above a generally decreasing trend, but the formation as a whole shows a highly variable and irregular density response.
    Lateral extent and variation
    The formation appears to be characteristically developed in the Tromsø Basin and across the Ringvassøya - Loppa Fault Complex into the Hammerfest Basin, thinning eastwards and passing into the sands and carbonates of the Kviting Formation .
    Age
    Total span appears to be late Cenomanian to early Maastrichtian.
    Depositional environment
    Deep open shelf with normal circulation.
