Section 3 GEOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK Mesozoic Basins of the North Atlantic Page 10 More than 26 billion barrels of oil and 63 tcf of natural gas have been produced from the Mesozoic basins of the North Atlantic. The primary producing reservoirs thus far have been the Lower Cretaceous, Jurassic and Tertiary sandstones of the British and Norwegian North Sea, but since November, 1997 major production has been achieved from the Lower Cretaceous reservoirs on the west side of the Atlantic - at the Hibernia field. Although the distinction of first oil production in the northwest Atlantic goes to the Cohasset/Panuke field offshore Nova Scotia, which produced about 43 million barrels, Hibernia is the first giant field to be developed and is currently producing at 150,000 bopd from only 9 production wells. Figure 3.1 illustrates the parallel ancestry of the North Sea and offshore Newfoundland and Labrador basins, both of which were formed by the separation of Europe and Northwest Africa from North America by the continental drift that commenced in the Triassic/Early Jurassic. To date more than 2600 exploration wells have been drilled in the North Sea and have proven resources of more than 55 billion barrels 3 of oil and 200 tcf of gas .
