Abstract

Summary

In this paper, we present the importance of a regional dataset, acquired and processed with the latest seismic imaging technologies to better understand the depositional environments of one of the main hydrocarbon plays in the Northern North Sea – the Upper Jurassic sandstones. Here we use frequency decomposition colour blending (RGB) to identify depositional pathways of Late Jurassic sands, where they can be seen to feed in from the east extending across to the west through deep water canyon systems, largely controlled by fault systems.
