Neotectonics in Nordland - Implications for petroleum exploration (NEONOR2)

Abstract

The individual papers and reports from the NEONOR2 project (Neotectonics in Nordland - implications for petroleum exploration) are compiled in the present report. The results are also summarized and compared to the results from previous research projects (e.g. NEONOR project 1997-2000). The NEONOR2 project was a collaboration project between NGU, Kartverket, NORSAR, Norut, NPD and the universities of Bergen and Luleå. The project was in addition sponsored by the Norwegian Research Council and eleven petroleum companies. NEONOR2 investigated neotectonic phenomena onshore and offshore through a multidisciplinary approach including geological, seismological and geodetic studies combined with rock mechanics, applied geophysics and numerical modeling.
