Title: Exploring North Sea: ABSTRACT

Author(s): Robert Dyk

Article Type: Meeting abstract

Abstract:

Exploration for oil and gas in the North Sea has been carried on at a high level since the first licenses were granted in 1964. Several commercial gas fields have been discovered in British waters.

The North Sea basin has been a depositional site for potentially productive sediments at different times since the early Carboniferous. Interpretation of seismic data is complicated by variable thicknesses of Permian salt overlying the older productive strata.
