Abstract

The northern North Sea rift evolved through multiple rift phases within a highly heterogeneous crystalline basement. The geometry and evolution of syn-rift depocentres during this multiphase evolution, and the mechanisms and extent to which they were influenced by pre-existing structural heterogeneities remain elusive, particularly at the regional scale. Using an extensive database of borehole-constrained 2D seismic reflection data, we examine how the physiography of the northern North Sea rift evolved throughout late Permian-Early Triassic (RP1) and Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous (RP2) rift phases, and assess the influence of basement struct...  more
