From May 3-5, 1999, more than 200 geologists assembled in Grieghallen, Bergen to discuss the sedimentary development of the Norwegian offshore areas and their analogues. The conference was organised by the Norwegian Petroleum Society. The participants came from universities, government agencies and oil and consulting companies in Norway, Denmark, Great Britain, Holland, France, Spain, Canada and USA. The presentations included 25 talks, 10 core examples and 37 posters. Particular emphasis was on the posters and the core examples, recognising that it was within these presentations that most of the data were presented. Three keynote addresses were given: by Robert Dalrymple on non- and marginalmarine environments, by H. Edward Clifton on shallow-marine environments, and by Arnold Bouma on deep-water environments. For various reasons, papers from these keynote addresses were not included in the volume, but their abstracts are included in the abstracts volume (Martinsen and Dreyer, 1999).  <...>

The modern geological sciences are characterized by extraordinarily rapid progress, as well as by the development and application of numerous new and refined methods, most of them handling an enormous amount of data available from all the continents and oceans. Given this state of affairs, it seams inevitable that many students and professionals tend to become experts in relatively narrow fields and thereby are in danger of losing a broad view of current knowledge.

The study of carbon ate- si lie tclastic mixed sequences has seen an increase in the number of investigations that focus on mixed settings as pan of the continuum between the carbonate and clastic end members. The level of interest in such mixed sequences has been reflected in recent years by sessions at national meetings that dealt specifically with the topic, and also by recent publications

Как известно, совокупность данных о строении, вещественном составе осадочных толщ и возрастных спектрах детритовых цирконов отражает процессы, протекающие как собственно в бассейнах седиментации, так и на прилегающих к ним территориях, выступающих в качестве источников сноса обломочного материала.

Кислотная обработка призабойной зоны пласта в настоящее время является одним из наиболее востребованных методов интенсификации нефтедобычи. Однако, несмотря на широкое использование и богатый ассортимент химических реагентов, проведение операций кислотного воздействия сопряжено с различными проблемами, снижающими эффективность обработки.

Совокупность возрастных спектров детритовых цирконов и данных о вещественном составе осадочных толщ отражает процессы, протекающие как собственно в бассейнах седиментации, так и на прилегающих к ним территориях, выступающих в качестве источников сноса обломочного материала.
Комплексирование этих данных позволяет проследить эволюцию палеобассейнов, в том числе палеоокеанов.
Объектами комплексного исследования стали докембрийские осадочные толщи карагасской и оселковой серий юго-западной окраины Сибирского кратона. <...>
