From Depositional Systems to Sedimentary Successions on the Norwegian Continental Margin (IAS SP 46).
The Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS), focus of this special publication, is a prolific hydrocarbon region and both exploration and production activity remains high to this day with a positive production outlook. A key element today and in the future is to couple technological developments to improv...
