Abstract
Late Jurassic transgressions in the North Sea area developed thirteen genetic stratigraphic sequences containing sand bodies with in the shale dominated Heather and Draupne formations in the South Viking Graben area. Thirteen genetic stratigraphic sequences with three facies associations have been mapped regionally in an area ranging from 58º45˝–59º15˝ N .The main challenge in this study is to establish the depositional model of the Upper Jurassic sandstones of the South Viking Graben.
