“…3). The structural style observed within the study area contrasts markedly to that encountered in the axis of the basin where rift-related normal faults and large salt structures dominate the basin geometry (Thomas & Coward 1996;Jackson & Larsen 2009;Kane et al 2010). In addition to improving the general understanding of the tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the SW margin of the Utsira High, this study also helps constrain facies distribution within the Zechstein Supergroup and depositional system development, and thus reservoir distribution, within the Jurassic sedimentary succession.…”

“…Deposition of both the upper Middle and Upper Jurassic successions was influenced by both thick-and thin-skinned, rift-related normal faulting (along the western margin and within the axial parts of the South Viking Graben; Harris & Fowler 1987;Cockings et al 1992;Thomas & Coward 1996;Jackson & Larsen 2009), and movement of the Zechstein Supergroup (towards the south-eastern basin margin; Kane et al 2010). As a result, Middle and Upper Jurassic stratigraphic units generally thicken towards rift-related faults (Thomas & Coward 1996;Jackson & Larsen 2009) or infill elliptical basins related to salt movement (see below).…”

“…Such deformation may include nonbrittle structures such as fault-related folds (e.g. Withjack et al, 1990;Schlische, 1995;Gawthorpe et al, 1997;Kane et al, 2010), but also brittle fractures, micro-faults and deformation bands (e.g. Scholz et al, 1993;McGrath and Davidson, 1995;.…”

“…(Jackson et al, 2005). Fault systems influenced by or related to salt movement are characterized by important accommodation zone (Kane et al, 2010;Stewart and Clark, 1999). As a result, salt-influenced normal faults can contribute to erosion of the sea floor, structural and stratigraphic compartmentalization of potential reservoir successions, and migration of hydrocarbon across barriers (cf.…”
