This technical report outlines the exploration of the Lower Cretaceous Agat sands on the Måløy Slope in the northern North Sea, a region significant for oil and gas discoveries. The report details the challenges in mapping the Agat Formation due to the variability in sand quality and distribution. It describes the use of a high-quality regional dataset from the re-imaged Northern Viking Graben seismic survey, which enhances the understanding of the Agat play's geometry and extent. The report documents the geological history of the Agat sands, including their deposition from turbidity currents and the influence of fault blocks on sand thickness. It presents findings on the mapping of different sand units and fairways, supported by seismic sections and amplitude variations. The report concludes by emphasizing the potential for further exploration and understanding of the reservoir's complexities, which could lead to unlocking additional hydrocarbon resources in the area.
