Abstract

This contribution presents an extended abstract intended for the proceedings of the symposium: The Jurassic in the southern Central Graben, Hørsholm, (Denmark) June 15-16, 1989. The full text entitled "Tectonostratigraphic development of the Vlieland Basin. The Netherlands" will appear in the Proceedings 1st Conference European Association of Petroleum Geoscientists (Berlin: May 29th - June 2nd, 1989). The Vlieland Basin is located in the northern Netherlands; it covers the NW'ern part of the province of Friesland to the offshore area of the Frisian Island of Vlieland. It is a NW-SE striking structure which is bounded to the W, S and SE by the Texel-IJsselmeer High, and flanked by the Vlieland High, an extension of the Schill Grund High, in the north, and the North Netherlands High in the east. In the Vlieland Basin the major Zuidwal gasfield is located, which recently started production from the Lower Cretaceous Vlieland Sandstone.

Highlights

  • This contribution presents an extended abstract intended for the proceedings of the symposium: The Jurassic in the southern Central Graben, H0rsholm, (Denmark) June 15-16, 1989

  • The Vlieland Basin is located in the northern Netherlands; it covers the NW'ern part of the province of Friesland to the offshore area of the Frisian Island of Vlieland

  • It is assumed that there is an interrelationship between the Vlieland Basin and the major geological structures surrounding it, in particular the Central North Sea Graben (CNSG) and the Lower Saxony Basin (LSB)
