Abstract
Esso Exploration discovered oil in the Cretaceous Wealden of the Celtic Sea Basin in the early 1970'5. Since then, other operators have found oil in the Wealden but have been unable to justify the development of these finds. The main obstacle to commerciality has been the inability to predict the extent and distribution of oil- or gas-bearing reservoir sand using seismic data.
