THE GEOLOGY AND HYDROCARBON POTENTIAL OF THE PEEL AND SOLWAY BASINS, EAST IRISH SEA
P. J. Newman, Data from recent exploration campaigns by Elf Exploration UK plc, partners in the Peel, Solway Basins (East Irish Sea) have provided significant new information on the geology, hydrocarbon potential of these previously unexplored areas. In this paper, I present a regional geological framework for the basins based on outcrop studies, potential field data, regional seismic lines. The dominant NE-SW, NW-SE structural trends are probably inherited from the Caledonian Orogeny, show evidence of repeated reactivation. Seismic interpretation indicates that the NE-SW trending faults were important in controlling Early Carboniferous basin development, that transpressional movement along these faults in response to N-S compression led to basin inversion during the Variscan Orogeny. New well data indicate that both the Peel, Solway Basins were subjected to major erosion at this time, causing the entire Upper Carboniferous stratigraphy to be removed. Preserved Dinantianfacies comprise shallow marine sandstones, shales, carbonates in the NE, passing into shallow-water, high energy carbonates in the SW. A change to E-W extension during the Permo-Triassic led to renewed extensional motion on the underlying Caledonian faults, to the creation of a new system
