Natural fractures occur in chalk from the Kraka Field (Danian Ekofisk Formation, Southern Danish Sea) and contribute to an increased effective permeability in the reservoir. The majority of fractures are open and act as conduits for hydrocarbons to migrate through. However, some fractures are cemented and thus act as barriers for fluid flow. Predicting porosity and fluid flow in subsurface carbonate reservoirs is challenging, and with a proper understanding of cementation in fractures these subjects are better understood. Further knowledge on cemented fractures can be useful for hydrocarbon exploration and production. This study investigates cemented fractures, faults and a cataclastic fault zone in chalk cores from the Kraka Field. Emphasis is given to small-scale fractures. These are either partially or fully cemented by mineral precipitates, commonly calcite, and have apparent widths of up to 5 mm. One type of fractures has silica cement along the fracture edge and calcite in the central part, while another type only contains blocky calcite cement. The faults have apparent widths up to 5 cm and are partially cemented by calcite. The cataclastic fault zone has an apparent width of 25 cm and is filled with angular fragments of chalk cemented by blocky calcite. Stable isotope analysis of the cement in the fractures and the cataclastic fault zone suggests that they were filled by calcite cement almost simultaneously during burial. The paragenetic sequence of Danian chalk from the Kraka Field is reconstructed and compared with that of other North Sea fields. Based on an investigation of cemented fractures in the Kraka Field, this study provides information on cementation evolution and possible implications for porosity and fluid flow. The majority of Danish faults, and one example of a cataclastic fault zone. The distinction between fractures

On the the Plateau in the Arctic north The Yermak Plateau north of Spitsbergen and Morris Jesup Spur and rise north of Greenland relate to the Late Cretaceous-early Cenozoic interaction between an independent Greenland plate and the larger North American and European plates. We have recovered 21 new dredge hauls from three locations on the Yermak Plateau with an abundance of metasedimentary and gneissic rocks with strong affinities to known lithologies from northwest Spitsbergen. The continental outlier requires Paleogene dextral shear close to the coast of West Spitsbergen to accommodate opening of the Sophia Basin between the plateau and the continental margin. The postulated large-offset (100–150 km) shear zone (de Geer Fault) is supported by seismic velocity anomalies down to mid-crustal levels, a ubiquitous feature of known large-offset continental transform faults regardless of crustal rock composition. A continental sliver including the Yermak Plateau and Prins Karls Forland initially moved with Greenland along the de Geer Fault during the early Eocene stage of Eurasia Basin opening and facilitated opening of the Sophia Basin north of Spitsbergen by crustal extension. Later offset of the de Geer Fault north of Spitsbergen and formation of the Danskøya Basin in a transfer zone was probably induced by a restraining bend in the Hornsund Fault Zone active at the same time. The 65 km-wide, circular-shaped, northeastern tip of the Yermak Plateau is a young volcanic feature formed between Chron 22 and Chron 18 at the junction between the Gakkel Ridge and the Yermak continental block before separation of the Morris Jesup Spur and Yermak Plateau. The Yermak Plateau became part of the European plate prior to Chron 13 as the Gakkel Ridge propagated into the Northeast Greenland margin and the subsequent dextral motion shifted west to the Hornsund Fault Zone. The de Geer Fault and the Hornsund Fault Zone may have been in existence at the same time. E-mail (Yngve
