Abstract
The aim of this presentation (and/or poster) is to describe the field evaluation, geological modelling and reservoir simulation of a Late Palaeocene/Eocene reservoir in the Central North Sea. The Bittern Field is a large four-way dip closure located within Block 29/1, close to the boundary of the Central Graben Mesozoic rift system. Thick sandstones within the Sele Formation, deposited by a variety ofmass-flow processes, occupy a narrow west-east oriented fairway, with sediment dervied from the west.
