Geology
- The Skjold Field is an anticline structure, induced through salt tectonics. The reservoir is intersected by numerous, minor faults in the central part of the structure. At the flanks of the structure, the reservoir is less fractured. Unusually favourable production properties have been shown to exist in the reservoir.
