Abstract
Summary A regional source rock and fluid evaluation has been carried out for the UK Southern North Sea (SNS) basin in support of Shell’s UK exploration activities. While traditional plays in the SNS basin have targeted gas sourced from the Upper Carboniferous (Westphalian) coals ( Kombrink et al., 2010 ), this study focuses on the quality and generation potential of the Lower Carboniferous (Namurian, Visean) and Permian (Zechstein) source intervals. In combination with regional basin modelling work, the likelihood of generating and trapping additional hydrocarbon volumes from these intervals is evaluated.
