2 on land rather than in the sea:
an onshore windfarm/oil field The energy supplier has invested heavily in developing onshore windfarms.
onshore exploration/drilling/production Other major oil groups do not have onshore production in the country.
There is a good balance of onshore field observation, offshore seismic data and analogue or mathematical modelling.
The amount of seismic data acquired onshore is very small.
It concludes with short accounts of the offshore geology, the onshore mineral deposits and the petroleum potential.
However, most of the country is covered by the largest onshore ice-cap in the northern hemisphere.
After the onshore field study, we extended our attention into the offshore area.
Conversely, there are instances of fuel spills that have mobilised onshore.
Both onshore and offshore basin fill architecture shows no clear evidence for active faulting in strata overlying tectono-stratigraphic unit one.
While most of the studies are from the exposed basins onshore, interesting material is included that comes from offshore basins and the subsurface as revealed through coring and seismic surveys.
