A Kimmeridgian time-slice through the Humber Group of the central North Sea: a test of sequence stratigraphic methods

Abstract: Reservoir quality of the Fulmar Formation in the UK Central Graben depends on the original distribution of facies as well as subsequent modification by partly facies-dependant diagenesis. Numerous sequence stratigraphical analyses of the Humber Group have been published recently, each of which has elements which are convincing geologically. Nevertheless, it is our experience that facies and reservoir prediction within the Humber Group remain difficult. Sequence stratigraphical interpretations in the Group are … Show more

“…As noted by Veldkamp et al (1996), the correlation of the MFSs to ammonite zones is at the moment tentative, as direct evidence from core material is very sparse; reference to the actual data is preferable. Nonetheless, for reference purposes, ammonite zone attributions of the dinocyst zones and of the MFSs are quoted, following Partington et al (1993a); occasional ammonite recoveries in cores from study wells proved inconclusive due to the poor state of preservation of the material.…”

“…The Fladen Group itself consists of the following four formations: the Pentland, Brora Coal, Beatrice and Hugin Formations (Richards et al 1993), the naming of which depends upon their geographical location. Recent biostratigraphic studies (primarily palynology and other forms ofmicropalaeontology) have led to a far better understanding of the temporal and spatial relationships between these various lithostratigraphic units and accurate correlations can now be made in many offshore areas (Partington et al 1993a;Veldkamp et al 1996;Jeremiah & Nicholson 1999) and extended to the onshore, non-marine equivalents of the Ravenscar Group in East Yorkshire (Fisher & Hancock 1985).…”
