Abstract:
Local earthquakes recorded at the King Sejong station (62° 13′31″S, 58° 47′07″W) from 1995–96 have been analysed to study the seismicity and tectonics around the northern Antarctic Peninsula. The nature of shallow-focused normal fault earthquakes along the South Shetland Platform is still unclear. Dominant normal fault earthquakes and minor strike-slip earthquakes in the Eastern Bransfield Basin suggest 1) ongoing extension, and 2) transtensional stress transmitted from the Antarctic–Scotia transform boundaries, the South Scotia Ridge and the Shackleton Fracture Zone.

The sedimentation and basin evolution of the Kangerlussuaq Basin, southern East Greenland has gained renewed interest with the licensing rounds offshore the Faroe Islands in 2000 and 2005, as it forms an important analogy to the Faroese geological setting. The Faroes frontier area is in part covered by basalts and is a high-risk area with poorly known plays and sedimentary basins. It is therefore essential to obtain as much information as possible on the evolution of sedimentary basins on the rifted volcanic margins closest to the Faroese Islands margin.

Abstract:
The Sea of Hebrides Basin and Minch Basin are late Paleozoic–Mesozoic rift basins located to the NW of the Scottish mainland. The basins were the target of small-scale petroleum exploration from the late 1960s to the early 1990s, with a total of three wells drilled within the two basins between 1989 and 1991. Although no commercially viable petroleum discoveries were made, numerous petroleum shows were identified within both basins, including a gas show within the Upper Glen 1 well in Lower Jurassic limestones. Organic-rich shales have been identified throughout the Jurassic succession within

Abstract:
AbstractThe Rosebank Field is located primarily in Block 213/27a in the Faroe–Shetland Basin, c. 130 km west of the Shetland Islands in water depths of c. 1100 m (3600 ft). Hydrocarbons are trapped within an elongate, SW–NE-trending four-way anticlinal structure. The principal Colsay Sandstone Member reservoir consists of several vertically stacked, Late Paleocene to Early Eocene fluvial and deltaic reservoirs separated by volcanic sequences. Well log and core data indicate that reservoir quality is high, with porosities in the range of 19–23% and average permeability of c. 3 D. Oil quality is
