COOP - CRUSTAL ONSHORE-OFFSHORE PROJECT (RESEARCH AND MAPPING PROJECT)
The Geological Survey of Norway (NGU) has carried out a follow-up on the successful onshore-offshore projects in the Norwegian and Barents Seas. The study areas comprises an area of approx. 120.000 km². The pro-ject covers the Froan, Møre, Viking, Stord, Egersund, Norwegian-Danish and Central basins. The project in-cludes acquisition of six airborne surveys. The offshore surveys have a profile spacing of 500 m and 1 km, and a sensor altitude of 100 metres. Three combined aer-omagnetic and radiometric surveys along the coast of western Norway have a line spacing of 250 m and a flying altitude of 60 metres.
NGU has within the frame of the Coop studies compiled existing aeromagnetic surveys on the mainland and in the North Sea (e.g. VGET-95, VGVG-96, Q17, Viking-93 and SAS-96) and provides a comprehensive and state of the art aeromagnetic grid. High-resolution aero-magnetic surveys are particularly useful for detailed mapping of sand channels, volcanics, igneous bodies, salt diapirs, fault systems, deep weathering and depth to magnetic basement. This information provides a structural overview and is valuable for further survey planning like seismic, gravity and CSEM data acquisi-tion. The products of the projects include a basement character ization as well as full 3D crustal and thermal basement models. The new surveys constitute a part of an aeromagnetic remapping program of the Norwegian continental shelf and coastal areas.
