Geir Elvebakk knows the geology of the Barents Sea like the back of his hand. This is because he has spent almost his entire career looking for oil and gas in this huge area, and because of his intimate knowledge he has always had a strong belief that oil in commercial quantities will be found.
Elvebakk has a particular strong interest in carbonate rocks, meaning that the Gohta and Alta discoveries on the Loppa High were most welcome.Elevebakk does point out, however, that oil has been found in carbonate rocks also on the Finnmark and on the Bjarmeland Platform.
Now he has volunteered to share some of his knowledge in the forthcoming half-day seminar on December 10 in Oslo. In this talk, Elevebakk will give a detailed account of his thoghts about source rocks as well as reservoir rocks.
