Marine geophysical survey of the NE BRazil and French Guiana continental margin onboard RRS Discovery (D275). The Amazon Cone is a deep-sea fan system that developed on a continental margin approximately 90-100 Myr following a rifting event. Gravity and flexure modelling suggest that the Cone sediments have loaded the margin almost to the limits of its strength. The investigators propose to carry out the first seismic refraction experiment to determine the structure of the crust and mantle that has been deformed by the Cone load. The experiment will provide new constraints on the structure, the nature of the ocean-continental boundary, the thermal and mechanical properties, and the resource potential of deep-water continental margins.

This data includes all of the information provided to the BGS (British Geological Survey) through the National Hydrocarbon Data Archive for the Hutton Field. It includes: Production data and a 3D seismic survey in addition to borehole records from 65 wells across the Hutton Field.

Data from onshore wells provided to BGS as part of an agreement with NSTA/OGA/DECC Digital data (includes, well logs, well reports and downhole data) for oil and gas exploration and appraisal wells drilled in the UK and held on behalf of the North Sea Transitory Authority (formerly the Oil & Gas Authority, formerly the Department of Energy and Climate Change). External data therefore BGS has no control on quality. Provided to OGA/DECC/BGS by oil companies as part of their obligations under licensing regulations, PON 9b regulations notice.
