Beskrivelse
Forties Formation
NameNamed by Deegan & Scull (1977) from the Forties Field in UK block 21/10.Well type sectionUK well 21/10-1 from 2370 m to 2131 m, coordinates N 57°43'50.37", E 00°58'29.19" (Fig 5.44) . Cores.Well reference sectionNorwegian well 7/11-1 from 3069 m to 2904 m, coordinates N 57°04'15.60", E 02°26'24.40" (Fig 5.46) . No cores.ThicknessThe Forties Formation is 239 m thick in the type well and 165 m thick in the reference well. The thickness decreases eastwards and southwards into the Norwegian sector.LithologyThe formation typically consists of interbedded sandstones, siltstones and claystones, becoming predominantly sandy higher in the section. The sand is fine to coarse grained, poorly to moderately sorted and contains minor amounts of lignite, pyrite, glauconite and mica. The sands encountered in the Norwegian sector were deposited distally in a lobe, and consist of very fine to fine, angular to subangular grains often with mica and a calcareous cement.Basal stratotypeWhere the Forties Formation rests on the Andrew Formation (Deegan & Scull 1977) its lower boundary is defined by a decrease in velocity into the sandstones of the Forties Formation (Fig 5.44) . This boundary may be difficult to define on logs. Eastwards the Forties Formation overlies the argillaceous Lista Formation , and the boundary is characterised by decreasing gamma-ray and increasing velocity readings into the Forties Formation.Characteristics of the upper boundaryThe upper boundary is defined as the break between the Forties sandstones and the shales of the more or less time-equivalent Sele Formation . The log response changes from low gamma-ray readings and high velocity to higher gammaray readings and lower velocity in the Sele Formation (Fig 5.44) . As the Forties Formation passes into shales eastwards it may be enveloped by the Sele Formation .DistributionThe Forties Formation extends as a large lobe from the area south of the Halibut Horst to the northwestern part of the Central Trough. Its approximate distribution on the Norwegian continental shelf is shown in (Fig 5.47) .AgeLate Paleocene.Depositional environmentThe Forties Formation was deposited as submarine fans.Source-
