The extent of the Oligocene sands and wedge unit and the Utsira and Skade formations is according to Rundberg & Eidvin (2005). The extent of the Molo Formation is according to Bullimore et al. (2005). The extent of the North Sea Oligocene play (NOL-1) is according to the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate web page (www.npd.no). The provenance study is after Olivarius (2009) and the topographic map is after Olesen et al. (2010). The extent of the Hutton sand (Oligocene-Upper Pliocene, informal) is modied Mapafter Gregersen & Johannessen 1 (2007). In the British sector, the Lower Miocene part of the Hutton sand probably corresponds to the Skade Formation in the Norwegian sector and the Upper Miocene-Lower Pliocene part of the Hutton sand probably corresponds to the Utsira Formation in the Norwegian sector.
