Many of the stratigraphic sequences recognized in North Sea Jurassic well sections correspond to mappable surfaces on seismic sections. Typically, however, sequences are only mappable seismically within individual sub-basins, and seismic correlation between sub-basins, or across highs, is generally impossible without independent control from wells. Particularly prominent seismic sequence boundaries occur at near-base J54 in the Inner Moray Firth (‘Intra-Oxfordian Event’) the Viking Graben (‘Top Heather’ in this area), base J62 (‘Top Heather’, Moray Firth), base J66 (‘Top Lower Hot Shale’, Inner and Outer Moray Firth), base J71 (East Shetland Platform), base J73 (‘Top Siltstone Member’, Moray Firth) and top J70/base K10 (‘Base Cretaceous Unconformity’ (BCU), basin-wide). The BCU is the most frequently mapped seismic horizon in the North Sea Basin in Jurassic–basal Cretaceous studies. This surface, at the base of the Cromer Knoll Group, separates synrift sediments from post-rift successions above and marks a major shift in the tectonic evolution of the North Sea Basin.
