21st Century Exploration RoadMap (21CXRM) Palaeozoic Petroleum Systems Analysis Project: Mid North Sea High Products

Reports, images, GIS and gridded products describing the Palaeozoic geology and conventional petroleum in and around the Mid North Sea High (Quadrants 25-44). Covering a large area of the Central North Sea from the Forth Approaches to the northern side of the Southern North Sea, the focus is on Devonian and Carboniferous rocks. The peer-reviewed products were produced for the 21CXRM Palaeozoic Project by BGS for DECC/OGA, Oil and Gas UK and oil company sponsors between November 2014 and May 2016, to improve regional digital datasets and knowledge of the underexplored Palaeozoic petroleum systems, and to stimulate exploration. The petroleum systems analysis was based on new interpretations of extensive well, seismic, gravity-magnetic and source rock datasets, integrated with petrophysical studies, basin modelling and UK onshore knowledge. Released data were collated and interpreted, and interpretations of unreleased data were included with agreement of the data owners. Unreleased raw data is excluded, as is the UK Government Seismic data released in 2016. The datasets are applicable for use at scales between 1:750,000 to 1: 3,000,000.

本数据集收录了有关中北海高地（第25至44象限）及其周边的泥盆纪和石炭纪地质构造、常规石油资源的报告、图像、GIS和网格化产品。该数据集覆盖了从中北海 forth approach至南北海北岸的广大中央北海区域，其核心关注对象为泥盆纪和石炭纪地层。经同行评审的产品由英国地质调查局（BGS）为英国能源与气候变化部（DECC）/英国石油与天然气管理局（OGA）、英国油气工业协会（Oil and Gas UK）及其赞助的石油公司于2014年11月至2016年5月间，为提升区域数字数据集及对未充分勘探的泥盆纪石油系统的认知，并激发勘探活动而制作。石油系统分析基于对大量井、地震、重力磁场和源岩数据集的新解释，并与岩性学研究、盆地建模以及英国陆上知识相结合。发布的数据已汇编并解读，未经发布数据的解读亦在数据所有者同意下纳入。未经发布的数据原始资料及2016年发布的英国政府地震数据均被排除在外。本数据集适用于1:750,000至1:3,000,000的比例尺范围使用。
