The Significance of Oil in the Sverdrup Basin

Robert A. Meneley

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Summary The discovery history of the Sverdrup Basin includes two well-defined exploration cycles. In the first, onshore, cycle only one well tested oil in the western Sverdrup Basin. In the later offshore cycle seven of the discovered fields contain oil in varying quantities and quality. This paper will address some of the issues that arise from the occurrence and distribution of oil in the Sverdrup Basin and the impact this may have on economic development of resources in the basin.
