“…Upper Jurassic syn‐rift wedge‐shaped geometries have been imaged in seismic lines adjacent main fault complexes in the SW Barents Sea (Blaich, Tsikalas, & Faleide, 2017; Kairanov, Marín, Escalona, & Cardozo, 2019; Serck, Faleide, Braathen, Kjølhamar, & Escalona, 2017) and localized sandstone units have been penetrated by exploration wells (e.g. wells 7120/2‐2 and 7120/12‐1; Braut, 2018; NPD, 2020; Sandvik, 2014). In addition, the Upper Jurassic to lowermost Cretaceous succession of the SW Barents Sea hosts a prolific source rock in the region, known as the Hekkingen Formation (Lerch, Karlsen, Matapour, Seland, & Backer‐Owe, 2016; Lerch et al., 2018; Mørk et al., 1999).…”
