Twelve new maps of the Cenozoic succession in the Danish North Sea are now available. The maps are based on all available 2-D seismic data from the Danish North Sea and horizons are correlated with a precise, modern, and updated biostratigraphic framework from four wells. In addition, correlation between TWT seismic data and released data from all other Danish North Sea wells has been carried out. The maps divide the Cenozoic succession into major depositional units and present a very detailed mapping of the Cenozoic succession, greatly improving understanding of the Cenozoic development and the basis for exploration outside known Cenozoic production areas. Isochore maps provide a detail picture of sequences and the many Cretaceous/Paleocene channels, including the productive Siri channel.
It is believed that the package will be essential to any oil company interested in the North Sea, and may be used to:
update knowledge on petroleum systems of the Danish North Sea area, including new Miocene plays;
reconstruct the older and deeper structural configuration of the Central Graben, improving understanding of non-structural Chalk traps;
understand and model petroleum generation during the Cenozoic and migration to up-dip traps on adjacent highs;
evaluate acreage to be offered in the 7th licensing round in Denmark and acreage within the coast-near Open Door areas.
The report will be delivered in .pdf format, and all maps in addition in detailed workstation-ready .xyz format.

Data
A new biostratigraphic study based on palynology provides the dating of seismic sequences. This study includes dating of the Cenozoic succession in the Alma-1, Frida-1, Tove-1, S-1 wells as well as more than 20 onshore boreholes and 10 outcrops. The study provides well-to-seismic ties to the C-1, E-1, Inez-1, Mona-1, R-1, Siri-1 wells as well as the afore-mentioned wells.
The maps provided in the package are:
Top Chalk
Top Balder Formation
Top Horda (Top Eocene)
Top Lower Lark (Top Oligocene)
Top Sequence B (Miocene 1)
Top Sequence C (Miocene 2)
Top Sequence D (Mid Miocene unconformity)
Top Sequence E (Miocene 4)
Top Sequence F (Top Miocene)
Top Sequence G (Pliocene 1)
Top Sequence H (Pliocene 2)
Top Sequence I (Top Pliocene)
