2-3 days excursion in east Jylland, Denmark |
Spectacular example of a wave- dominated delta in central Jutland, Denmark.
The succession that crops out in the Lillebælt and Vejle Fjord area, east Jylland, shows exceptionally detailed sedimentary structures and demonstrates clearly facies changes within a shallow marine and back barrier depositional environment. Interpretations of the sedimentary structures have been combined with detailed palynofacies studies, resulting in the recognition of major flooding surfaces as well as constraining the sedimentary interpretations. High quality seismic data illustrates the development of a wave-dominated delta and how to predict thick reservoir sands.
A sequence stratigraphic model has been proposed for the outcropping succession and the major surfaces and boundaries can be recognised on seismic data and followed into the North Sea Basin. A prominent displacement of the shoreline of c. 100 km, represented by a delta system, is excellently demonstrated on seismic data.
The upper Oligocene - lower Miocene succession in Denmark is of interest to exploration geologists, to those working with seismic data, log-correlation and detailed sedimentology, and to reservoir geologists.
The excursion is also of interest to management and other non-geologists, as an example of the application of such methods in exploration.
Why attend the excursion to east Jylland?
- Reservoir prediction in wave-dominated deltas.
- Principles of classic sequence stratigraphy.
- Prediction of porous reservoir rocks.
- Detailed history of the structural evolution of the North Sea.
- Re-suspension and sorting of clay minerals and consequences for the overpressure zone in the Central Graben.
- Timing of tilting of the North Sea Basin - burial history and migration of hydrocarbons.
The fee for the excursion depends on the number of participants and the number of days of the excursion. Please contact GEUS for submission of a tender. The fee includes the excursion guide, all transport in Denmark, single rooms in the hotel, breakfast and lunch packages.
Requirements
Raincoats and boots are recommended.
All the localities are easily accessible. However, whilst the organisers will take all sensible precautions, they will not be held responsible for any injury sustained by participants, howsoever caused.
If required, special arrangements for groups or companies can be made. The hotel has good meeting rooms and facilities for presentations. It is thus possible to extend the visit to Denmark with planning-meetings, courses etc.
