Equinor Energy drilled exploration well 34/8-A H in the North Sea from Visund A. Equinor Energy AS has plugged a dry well in the Skoll and Hati prospects, east of Visund field in the North Sea.
Understanding the bathymetry of the north sea
Bathymetric Data Viewer Information about the map: The Bathymetric Data Viewer is an interactive map providing discovery for bathymetric survey data and digital elevation models archived at NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). Understanding the sea’s bathymetry is essential for grasping the unique environmental and commercial challenges of the region. Specific Depth Measurements The North Sea has an average depth of approximately 95 meters ( feet), making it extremely shallow compared to the world’s oceans, which average around 3, meters deep.
Deepest points in the north sea revealed
The Mariana Trench is an oceanic trench located in the western Pacific Ocean, about kilometres ( mi) east of the Mariana Islands; it is the deepest oceanic trench on Earth.
How depth variations affect north sea ecosystems
The first contrast is the difference in species richness between shallow water marine environments and the deep sea. The deep sea experiences extreme energy limitation, yet probably represents the oldest and largest temporally continuous ecosystem on Earth.
