—Summary of paleocurrent data from the Kangerlussuaq basin showing sediment transport directions relative to the suggested predrift position of the Faeroe Islands. Sand-prone sediments were supplied mainly during the (a) mid-Cretaceous (Aptian–Albian) and (b-d) latest Cretaceous–Paleocene. Substantial mid-Paleocene uplift of the North Atlantic margins resulted in shedding of large volumes of sediment into the sedimentary basins. Data for the Faeroe Basin are simplified from Knott et al. (1993). Black arrows = coarse-grained sediment, open arrows = mainly fine-grained sediment.

Example of seepage pipes (arrow) from the Faeroe-Shetland Basin, offshore Scotland. Pipes are recognizable as columnar zones of disrupted reflections with localized amplitude anomalies. This pipe emanates from a small fold on the upper surface of a deeper buried aquifer. The lack of any pockmark located at the upper termination of the pipe is suggestive of low fluid flux and possible seepage, but some uncertainty is attached to this interpretation because of limited seismic resolution. Data courtesy of CGGVeritas.

Abstract Considerable crustal stretching is required to create a basin that has water depths in excess of 500m. The character, magnitude, and timing of crustal stretching has important implications for the petroleum system particularly with respect to basin structuring, heat flow and source-rock distribution, quality, and maturity. Nowhere does understanding the crustal-stretching history have more importance than in deep water basins, such as the West Shetland basin-system, where the source rocks were deposited before the main rift-events.
