review of the chronostratigraphy of the SW Approaches and surrounding basins,
an evaluation of the impact of Variscan deformation on the hydrocarbon
potential of the area, an assessment of the reservoir quality of the Triassic
and Lower Cretaceous intervals and the provision of reservoir and source rock
distribution maps. The seismic interpretation carried out as part of this
project formed the starting point for the final seismic grids provided for this

APT-Chemostrat Faroe-Shetland Basin Basement Characterisation and Thermal Calibration Database & Report

<p><span style='font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;'>The
APT-Chemostrat Faroe-Shetland Basin basement characterisation and thermal
calibration database and report was published by the  NSTA in May 2021 under the
 NSTA user agreement. The project comprises a PDF report and 5 excel files.</span></p>

<p><span style='font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;'>The
study has generated a multi-disciplinary dataset that constrains the thermal
evolution of the Faroe-Shetland Basin.</span></p>

<ul>
 <li><span style='font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;'>The basement composition work
     reveals a clear variation in basement composition which results in a
     marked trend in heat flow and geothermal gradient from cool in the SW of
     the AOI to hot in the NE of the AOI. </span></li>
 <li><span style='font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;'>The thermal calibration data
     demonstrates that the basinal areas investigated are at or close to their
     maximum temperatures present day. Evidence for higher paleo-temperatures
     is sporadic and is indicated to occur in the Late Tertiary rather than the
     Early Tertiary when the intrusive igneous activity occurred. Models
     testing the impact of thermal erosion of the lithosphere suggest that the
     impact on the temperature histories caused by this are very modest.
     Heating associated with direct intrusive activity is of much greater
     magnitude but is thought to be relatively localised.</span></li>
 <li><span style='font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;'>Results obtained from 1D
     modelling, combined with appropriate expulsion modelling suggest that the
     charge timing ‘issue’ in the Faroe-Shetland Basin has been over-emphasised
     in previous studies. </span></li>
</ul>

<p><span style='font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;'>The
study has implication for both exploration teams engaged in the modelling and
prediction of the petroleum system in the Faroe-Shetland basins, and for
geoscientific researchers working on the processes involved in the basin
evolution. While previously considered complex, it is believed that where the
complexity is either misplaced or misunderstood in terms of the petroleum
system then this can lead to poorer risking and a less clarity on the framework
in which to assess new exploration opportunities.</span></p>

Ikon Reports for NSTA-selected wells

<p>This delivery contains a subset of wells from Ikon Science's regional Roknowledge studies which were within some of the areas open as part of the 30th Licencing Round. The wells have been selected from the West of Shetlands and Central North Sea Rock Physics studies and the Southern North Sea Geopressure study. This collaboration with Ikon provides information pertaining to the introduction and methodologies used in the studies, evaluations from key wells, a graphical overview of well coverage and a number of summary findings and case studies. </p>
