Johan Petter Nystuen is a Professor Emeritus at the Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo. His expertise spans petroleum geology, sedimentology, and sequence stratigraphy with a focus on sedimentary basin analysis and reservoir characterization. He has conducted extensive research on the North Sea, Barents Sea, and other continental margins, contributing to understanding tectonic processes and stratigraphic architecture. Roles: Emeritus Professor, former Senior Lecturer in sedimentology, and advisory roles in the petroleum industry. Education: Extensive background in geology, with research spanning Precambrian to Cenozoic deposits. Research interests include reservoir characterization of clastic sediments, sequence stratigraphy of post-rift successions, and tectono-sedimentary interactions. His recent work explores climate impacts on sedimentary systems and CO2 storage potential in Jurassic formations. Notable projects include leadership in the SAFARI program, FLUREMO reservoir modeling, and structural studies of the Himdalen-Orje Deformation Zone. Collaborations with industry (e.g., Saga Petroleum) and academic institutions highlight his interdisciplinary approach. Labs/Teams: Active in sedimentology and basin analysis research groups, contributing to international projects like the Euromargin and COPASS initiatives.
