Description
Great effort has been undertaken to investigate potential geohazards in relation to the development of the Ormen Lange gas field offshore
Mid-Norway.
The field is located in the scar left after the giant, tsunami-generating Storegga Slide, which occurred roughly 8200
years ago, and the slide risk has consequently received particular focus. The studies have been multi-disciplinary in character, and
have involved a number of companies, universities, and research institutions. The results of the project led to a significant advance
in the understanding of the Storegga Slide in particular, and submarine slope instability in general, and played an important role in
the approval of field development by Norwegian authorities.
This book comprises 26 individual contributions representing the wide
span of topics addressed in the project. The main scope is to provide a state-of-the-art report on geohazard investigations in a high
latitude continental margin setting. Most of the data and results published in this book would not have reached beyond the confidential
report stage unless the license partners of the Ormen Lange license had agreed that this information deserves a wider audience.
Audience
Geologists, geophysicists, geochemists, explorationists
Contents

continental margin (A. Solheim et al.).
2. Explaining the Storegga Slide (P. Bryn et al.).
3. Influence from "Ocean
Weather" on near seabed currents and events at Ormen Lange (G. Alendal et al.).
4. Large-scale development of the mid-Norwegian
margin during the last 3 million years (L. Rise et al.).
5. The Pleistocene to recent geological development of the Ormen Lange
area (K. Berg, A. Solheim, P. Bryn).
6. Late Cenozoic glacial history and evolution of the Storegga Slide area and adjacent slide flank
regions, Norwegian continental margin (B.O. Hjelstuen et al.).
7. The glacial North Sea Fan, southern Norwegian Margin: architecture
and evolution from the upper continental slope to the deep-sea basin (A. Nyg?rd et al.).
8. Contourites and their relevance
for mass wasting along the Mid-Norwegian Margin (P. Bryn et al.).
9. The Storegga Slide complex: repetitive large scale sliding
with similar cause and development (A. Solheim et al.).

on the Mid-Norwegian margin (C.F. Forsberg, J. Locat).
11. The dating and morphometry of the Storegga Slide (H. Haflidason et al.).
12. Postglacial seismicity offshore mid-Norway with emphasis on spatio-temporal-magnitudal variations (H. Bungum, C. Lindholm, J.I.
Faleide).
13. Probabilistic and deterministic seismic hazard results and influence of the sedimentary Møre Basin, NE Atlantic
(C. Lindholm et al.).
14. Stress transfer in the Storegga area, offshore mid-Norway (K. Atakan, A. Ojeda).

of the Storegga Slide: simulation of retrogressive slide dynamics and comparison with slide-scar morphology (P. Gauer et al.).
16. On the dynamics of subaqueous clay rich gravity mass flows - the giant Storegga slide, Norway (F.V. De Blasio et al.).
17. Scaling behaviour of clay-rich submarine debris flows (D. Issler et al.).
18. The Storegga Slide tsunami - comparing field
observations with numerical simulations (S. Bondevik et al.).
19. Fundamental mechanisms for tsunami generation by submarine
mass flows in idealised geometries (K.B. Haugen, F. Løvholt, C.B. Harbitz).
20. A parametric study of tsunamis generated by
submarine slides in the Ormen Lange/Storegga area off western Norway (F. Løvholt, C.B. Harbitz, K.B. Haugen).

of triggering sources and slide mechanics (T.J. Kvalstad et al.).
23. Formation of large, crater-like evacuation structures
in ooze sediments in the Norwegian Sea. Possible implications for the development of the Storegga Slide (F. Riis et al.).
24.
In situ pore pressures: What is their significance and how can they be reliably measured? (J.M. Strout, T.I. Tjelta).
25. Ocean bottom
seismometer investigations in the Ormen Lange area offshore mid-Norway provide evidence for shallow gas layers in subsurface sediments
(J. Mienert et al.).
