Fig. 3. Log panel showing the correlation <strong>of</strong> the Palaeogene<br />

succession in the five wells from <strong>of</strong>fshore West <strong>Greenland</strong><br />

drilled in the 1970s. The seismic sequences are numbered<br />

sequentially (500–10 000); the marine flooding surface within<br />

sequence 3000 is used as the datum. It should be noticed that<br />

some sequences are very local, especially above Sequence<br />

6000 in the Kangâmiut-1 well. The crossing between the A.<br />

hirtus Zone correlation line and the seismic sequence boundaries<br />

between Ikermiut-1 and Kangâmiut-1 may be explained<br />

by a lower resolution <strong>of</strong> the former. The palynological<br />

zonation adopted here is based on that <strong>of</strong> Bujak & Mudge<br />

(1994) and Mudge & Bujak (1996a, b). Modified from Dalh<strong>of</strong>f<br />

et al. (<strong>2001</strong>).<br />

SS500 and older seismic sequences are as old as this,<br />

and the extent <strong>of</strong> an equivalent to the Marraat oil source<br />

rock is restricted to the extent <strong>of</strong> SS500 (Chalmers et al.<br />

<strong>2001</strong>a, figs 8, 31).<br />
