Fulmars

The anatomy of the northern fulmar s olfactory bulbs is better suited for powerful odor detection than for keen odor discrimination. The periglomerular and external tufted cells are relatively sparse. These cells are important for superior odor discrimination in macrosmatic mammals. The interior granule cells are also loosely organized (Meisami and Wenzel, 1987).

Few studies were available to evaluate the temporal change of mirex in bird samples. The only studies of mirex in seabird eggs were conducted by Braune et al. (2001) on the temporal trends from 1975 to 1998 in the Canadian Arctic. A decreased trend of mirex levels was only observed in eggs of black-legged kittiwakes but not in northern fulmars and thickbilled murres. The levels of mirex that were measured in the eggs of the studied animals ranged from 0.003 to 0.013 pg g-1 wet wt. in 1998. There did not appear to be any consistent change in the proportions over the study period (Braune et al., 2001). No information is available on the level of mirex in waterbirds in China. 

There were declining trends of the total DDT// ,//-DDE residues in seabird eggs in the Canadian Arctic and the Alaskan Arctic. The levels of total DDT in the eggs of black-legged kittiwakes, northern fulmars and thick-billed murres that were collected in the Canadian Arctic reduced from 1975 to 1998 (Braune et al., 2001).

Finally, there is still a trapping configuration which, although quite common, is often overlooked or misunderstood, the so-called perched water-contact (Johnson et al., 1986 Weber, 1995). This occurs when a reservoir has a U-tube shape with a fault seal or a pinch-out at the closed end. The water cannot escape from this side of the U-tube resulting in different hydrocarbon-water contacts in the same reservoir. In the North Sea, we find perched oil-water contacts in Fulmar (Fig. 16), Tern, Ulla and Logger fields, but there are probably many more cases.

The Judy and Joanne fields comprise three major reservoir intervals Triassic/Jurassic sands, Cretaceous/Palaeocene chalks and Palaeocene sands. Figure 4 shows the generalized stratigraphy of the area. The deepest of the three reservoirs comprises the fluvial sandstones of the Triassic Skaggerak Formation (Joanne and Judy Sandstone Members), overlain unconformably by Upper Jurassic shallow marine sandstones of the Fulmar Formation. The Joanne Sands are the major reservoir unit in the Judy Field. The productive chalk intervals are the Upper... 

Fulmar reservoir and the Triassic Joanne and Judy reservoirs. However, the data show a large pressure discontinuity within the petroleum column between the 30/7a-Pl olisthostrome and the in-situ Joanne reservoirs. The in-situ Joanne Sands in 30/7a-Pl are part of the southwesterly pressure regime characterized by the 30j7a.-S and 30/7a-P7 wells, whilst the olisthostrome appears to be in pressure communication with the 30/7a-P3 and 30/7a-P9 wells.
