Lithofacies map for the Corallian showing the limits of carbonate and clastic deposition in the Weald and Wessex basins. of faults active during the Lower Cretaceous rifting event associated with opening of the Bay of Biscay. Biscay plate sequence During the Early Cretaceous the Weald and Wessex (Portland-South Wight) basins were subject to a phase of major renewed extension, probably associated with active rifting along the Biscay continental margin (Fig.
The Varsican orogeny imparted a strong east-west (thrusts) and northwest-southeast (lateral transfers) structural grain across the province. In the area of the present-day Western Approaches the east-west trends swing round 9into a more northeast-southwest direction. During subsequent Permian and Mesozoic rifting and inversion, Variscan trends were periodically reactivated in an extensional or compressional sense (Chadwick et al. 1983). A similar reactivation of Caledonian collisional grain during Carboniferous rifting and inversion was noted by Fraser et al.
Inversion movements on the old extensional faults led to the development of hanging wall anticlines which rely upon remigration mechanisms, including exsolution of gas from uplifted Liassic source rocks, to receive hydrocarbon charge. To date over 300 million barrels of oil and 100 bcf of gas have been discovered. This paper describes the results of a major regional study carried out at BP Exploration's U K land offices in Eakring during the late 1980s. At that time BP had amassed a substantial database of modern well and seismic data in addition to the results of exploration activity dating back to the 1930s.
