Sequence Stratigraphy of the Jurassic–lowermost Cretaceous (Hettangian–Berriasian) of the North Sea Region

This volume provides a landmark documentation of Jurassic sequence stratigraphy in the North Sea Basin, onshore UK and adjacent regions of the British Isles. It includes detailed sequence descriptions, historical syntheses and updated lithostratigraphy and biozonation schemes, all illustrated by numerous case studies, maps, well displays, seismic lines and biozonation charts.

Abstract
The application of sequence stratigraphic concepts and methods augments the efficient development of North Sea hydrocarbon fields with Jurassic reservoirs. In particular, the approach provides enhancements to the development of robust reservoir zonations, more accurate assessments of the extent and continuity of reservoir zones and flow units, clearer identification and prediction of the most productive reservoir intervals, improved understanding of field-wide pressure barriers or baffles to fluid flow, and enhanced reservoir models. In addition, carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects in Jurassic rocks will benefit from the adoption of a sequence stratigraphic approach by enhancing the understanding of storage unit architecture, connectivity and top seals. In this chapter, these applications are discussed with reference to around 20 case studies from the North Sea Basin.
