What do we know?‣ Best analogue comparison with East Greenland exploration examples and Møre Basin forthe Norwegian side.‣ Post Paleocene sedimentary rocks of sufficient thickness and age in the ridge flank areas.‣ Indications and first preliminary evidence of pre-opening sedimentary strata of possiblyPaleozoic, Triassic-Jurassic and maybe Cretaceous age – especially underneath the westflank areas of the ridge, i.e. Jan Mayen Basin.‣ Potential reservoir rocks, focus on locally shallow marine to generally marine deposits,especially submarine fans / turbidite deposits for post Paleocene deposits, and possiblyfocus on limestone platform to continental deposits for the pre-opening formations.‣ Potential traps present, both structural and stratigraphic.‣ Hydrocarbon maturation is probably high, more gas prone if sufficient source rocks arepresent and a more detailed influence of igneous activity needs to be included.30 th Nordic Geological Winter Meeting, Reykjavík, January 12, 2012ORKUSTOFNUNNational Energy Authority
