Abstract
The Haltenbanken area has proven to be a significant hydrocarbon province. The discoveries are in Jurassic sandstones, with gas—condensate in 6407/2–2 and 6507/11–1, oil in 6407/1–2, and oil with a gas cap in 6407/1–3. Significant gas shows have been experienced in 6407/2–1 and 6507/11–1 in Cretaceous siltstones. Recently (Summer 1984) Shell has discovered oil in block 6407/9.
