“…Kimmeridge clay is an Upper Jurassic sediment found in large areas in the North Sea as source or seal rock in several fields (Doré et al, 1985;Campbell and Ormaasen, 1987). The first batch of materials, hereafter referred to as KWC (Kimmeridge Westbury Clay), consisted of undisturbed block samples of unlithified/uncemented Kimmeridge clay taken from an open pit in the Westbury Quarry in Wiltshire, UK in the Mutabilis zone (Birkelund et al, 1983).…”

“…1 and 2, the compaction behavior and permeability of Kimmeridge clay is of particular interest. Kimmeridge clay is an Upper Jurassic sediment found in large areas in the North Sea as source, carrier or seal rock in several hydrocarbon fields (Dore et al, 1985;Campbell and Ormaasen, 1987;Nygård et al, 2003). Experimental compaction data from Kimmeridge clay will be used in the simulation of an idealized North Sea basinal situation below.…”

“…Broadly, the new scheme comprises a series of geographically and temporally restricted sandstone units, set within Upper Jurassic mudstones. A good case can be made for not using the established terms Humber Group, Kimmeridge Clay Formation and Heather Formation in the UK Central Graben (Dore et al 1985), since the 'type' developments of these units are separated geographically (i.e. were deposited in separate basins) from lithologically similar, coeval units in the UK Central Graben.…”

New biostratigraphical analysis of the Humber Group sediments from the UK North Sea Central Graben, using integrated palynological and micropalaeontological zonation schemes, allows substage resolution and basin-wide discrimination of subunits of the Heather Formation/Kimmeridge Clay Formation, and associated sandstones. The integrated use of both zonation schemes is particularly important because thermally mature Humber Group sediments buried below 12 000 ft in the Central Graben cannot be dated consistently to substage level using palynology alone. Poor data and the undiagnostic log character of the mudstones and shallow marine sandstones have resulted in a simple lithological scheme being widely applied, with all sandstones assigned to the Fulmar Formation and mudstones to the Heather Formation and the Kimmeridge Clay Formation. Previous generalized usage of the Fulmar Formation for all Upper Jurassic shallow marine sandstones is inappropriate. The Upper Oxfordian Puffin Formation is present in the northern and western Central Graben. The largely Kimmeridgian Fulmar Formation is restricted to the south and east, and the coeval Ula Formation flanks the Jaeren High. These three units are all interpreted as syn-rift sandstones, locally sourced from uplifted and eroded fault block crests within and marginal to the Central Graben. Latest Kimmeridgian or younger shallow marine sandstones are largely confined to platform areas outside the graben, and can be related to regressive phases.
