Whereas the "Buntsandstein Group" in the major part of the Germanic basin is separated from the
Rotliegende by the typical-Zechstein carbonate-evaporite facies (uppermost Permian), the latter are completely lacking in France where they are partly replaced by fluvial facies (Table 1).
According to the company, the main objective of the well was to test the reservoir properties and hydrocarbon potential of the Middle Jurassic sandstones in the Otta prospect and of the deeper
Rotliegendes sandstones in the Vinstra prospect, located in the Mandal High area of the southern Norwegian North Sea close to the Danish maritime border.
The Ilfeld Basin was filled by sediments and eruptive rocks during Lower Permian (called in Germany
Rotliegendes) times.
High barium concentrations in deep groundwaters occur in sandstones of oilfields, exceeding several tens of mg/L, for example over 50 mg/L in the
Rotliegendes Formation in Germany and up to 175 mg/L in the Carpathian Foredeep Meso-Cenozoic rocks (Kolodiy 1983; Traber 2002).
