INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of a geochemical evaluation of well 34/4-8 drilled bySaga Petroleum a.s. in the Norwegian Sector of the North Sea.
ANALYTICAL
Two hundred and fifty eight (258) canned ditch cuttings samples from the section
between 510 - 3101 metres and seventy seven (77) bagged cuttings samples from the
intervals 2200 - 2505 metres and 2760 - 2810 metres were made available for thisstudy. The canned samples were collected at intervals of ten metres above 2760
Report No. 94/9365/01/01 Page 4 Geochem Group Limited
metres and every nine metres below this depth, while the bagged ditch cuttings werecollected at intervals of five metres (2200 - 2505 metres) and three metres (2760 -2810 metres). No samples were received from 1010 metres, 1300 metres and 1930metres. The samples which arrived at the Geochem Group's laboratories in twobatches on the 29th July, 1994 and the 9th September, 1994 were assigned theGeochem Group job number 9365. Lists of the samples received by Geochem weresubmitted to the client by fax within two working days of sample receipt.
Geochem were authorised to perform headspace and occluded gas analyses atintervals of fifty metres but every twenty five metres between 2210 - 2485 metres andto undertake lithological descriptions and total organic carbon and Rock Eval pyrolysisanalyses for all bagged samples in the interval 2768 - 2805 metres approximately.Samples for C15+ extraction with iatroscan and for GC, GC MS and carbon isotopeanalyses were selected by the client on the basis of screening results generated bythe Geochem Group.
The following analyses were carried out during the course of this study:

1 Introduction
This report gives the result of routine vitrinite reflectance analyses on 24 samplescovering the interval from 510 to 3101 mRKB in well 34/4-8 offshore Norway.
2 Material2.1 Samples
The material was provided from the client as 24 unwashed cuttings samples. The samplepositions are indicated in figure 1.
2.2 Geological information and casing points
Information on the stratigraphy and casing points was not supplied from the client
3 Analytical techniques3.1 Preparation
The cuttings samples were treated with hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid prior to furtherpreparation. The aim was to avoid soft and expanding mineral phases in order to ensuregood polishing quality.
The sample material resulting from the acid treatment was embedded in an epoxy resin tomake briquettes, ground flat and polished using 0.25 micron diamond paste andmagnesium oxide as the two final steps.
3.2 Analysis
The analytical equipment being used was a Zeiss MPM 03 photometer microscopeequipped with an Epiplan-Neofluar 40/0.90 oil objective. The sensitive measuring spotwas kept constant for all measurements at about 2.5 micron in diameter. Themeasurements were made through a green band pass filter (546 nm) and in oil immersion(refractive index 1.515 at 18°C). The readings were made without a polarizer and using astationary stage. This procedure is called measurement of random reflectance (%Rm).The photometer is calibrated daily against a standard of known reflectance (%Rm=0.588) and routinely (daily) checked against two other standards of significant differentreflectances ( %Rm=0.879 and 1.696). A deviation from these values of less than ±0.01and ±0.02 respectively is considered as acceptable. The calibration is routinely checkedduring the course of measurements at least every hour, and a deviation of less than±0.005 is considered as acceptable.
For each sample at least 20 points were measured if possible, and quality ratings aregiven to various important aspects which may affect the measurements. The aspects areabundance of vitrinite, uncertainties in the identification of indigenous vitrinite, type ofvitrinite, particle size, particle surface quality and abundance of pyrite.
