22 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We like to acknowledge the Norwegian operations of Chevron, Dong, ENI, Endeavour Energy, RWE, Hydro, Idemitsu, Lundin,, ConocoPhillips, Shell and Statoil for financial support. The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate provided detailed access to cultural and science technical data in and behind the Fakta Siden. The International Commission on Stratigraphy provided long term guidance and advice with the standards and nomenclature in stratigraphy Many scientific administrators and geoscientists and have made vital v contributions. In particular, we like to acknowledge Elen Roaldset,, Elisabeth Aronsen and Arne Stabell, respectively ex-director, Executive Secretary and IT Manager of the Museum of Natural History that houses and administrates NORLEX, Eric Toogood,, Manager of the Diskos Project, and geoscience colleagues Harald Brunstad,, Mike Charnock, Terje Hellem,, Erik Anthonissen, Sorin Filipescu,, Mike Kaminski, James Ogg,, Adam Lugowski, Filippos Tsikalas,, Steve Crittenden, Luis Vergara,, Winfried Dallmann,, Robert Williams, Jon Gjelberg,, Tom Dreyer, Vigdis, Løvø, Gitte Laursen,, Iain Prince, Martin Pearce and Jan Zalasiewicz.

23 The Near Future The lack of response from people who are and should be involved in the lithostratigraphy of the various parts of the succession is unbelievable The time is clearly ripe for UK/Danish/Dutch/Norwegian cooperation on British and Norwegian systems must now be coordinated David Worsley NSK must act now to help bringing NORLEX in The Geoscience Community
