Pictured here (from top), near stack seismic section, Acoustic Impedance section and TOC section through the northern calibration well. The red arrows point at the top of the Spekk Formation and the black arrows point at the base. In the middle Acoustic Impedance section, the acoustic impedance is lower within the Spekk Formation than in adjacent strata, apart from in the shallowest part where the low impedances are due to the shallow depth and not due to organic content. A trend from very low acoustic impedances in the upper part (blue colors) to higher acoustic impedances further down (red and pink colors) is clearly seen within the Spekk Formation. TOC content greater than 6 percent TOC is highlighted in bright colors in the lower figure. Graphics courtesy of Statoil Research Center.
