Exhumed hydrocarbon traps are globally rare but can offer important insight to subsurface systems, not available through the collection of standard industry data sets. Core, wireline and seismic data leave significant scale gaps which only high quality mega-scale outcrops can fill. East Greenland contains world class examples of exhumed hydrocarbon traps, in both scale and the quality of exposure. Difficulty in accessing this remote region has left these features relatively understudied. This study first examines the age of the strata involved within the exhumed traps. Biostratigraphic and provenance analysis were carried out so as both the local and regional context of the hydrocarbon staining could be understood. This is of particular importance for future exploration strategies in the North Atlantic region. The second aim of this
