Abstract
The Snorre Field is located within the Tampen Spur on the crest of an uplifted, rotated and croded fault block which flanks the western margin of the Viking Graben. Reservoir units are the Statfjord Formation (late Rhaetian — Sinemurian) and the continental redbed sequences of the Hegre Group (Scythian-Rhaetian). Log patterns reflect vertical grain size trends associated with the stacking of channel, sheet flood and floodplain deposits.
