摘要:Oxfordian–Ryazanian marine shales form the most important petroleum source rocks of the prospective basins of the North Atlantic region. These include the basins of the greater North Sea area, the Barents Shelf, the basins west of Ireland and the Shetland Islands, the Jeanne d’Arc and Flemish Pass basins off eastern Canada as well as the basins of western Siberia, and probably also the hitherto untested basins off East and North-East Greenland. The deposits have been the subjects of numerous studies (e.g. von der Dick et al. 1989; Miller 1990; Chakhmakhchev et al. 1994; Klemme 1994; Telnæs et al. 1994; Fowler & McAlpine 1995; Isaksen & Ledje 2001; Ineson et al. 2003; Justwan & Dahl 2005; Justwan et al. 2005, 2006a,b; Petersen et al. 2010), and age-equivalent rocks crop out onshore North-East Greenland. Despite their importance for future exploration in the East and North-East Greenland offshore region, published in-depth studies of their nature and petroleum potential have hitherto been scarce, with a few notable exceptions (Requejo et al. 1989; Christiansen et al. 1992; Strogen et al. 2005).
