During the Late Carboniferous to Early Permian,
the northern and southern Permian basins with
their axes oriented E-W to NE-SW, dominated the
palaeogeography in the southern and central
North Sea area (e.g. Ziegler, 1982, 1987, 1992;
Heeremans
et al
., 2004). In detail, the eastern part
of the Northern Permian Basin, which coincides
with the Norwegian-Danish Basin, is bounded by
the Central Graben and the Coffee-Soil Fault
Complex in the west and south and by the
Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone to the north. This basin
is NW-SE striking and contains Palaeozoic,
Mesozoic and Cenozoic sedimentary successions
(Ziegler & Van Hoorn, 1989; Frederiksen
et al
.,
2001). To the north (Viking Graben area) and
in the north-east (Skagerrak-Oslo Graben) N-S-
striking rift systems developed throughout the
latest Carboniferous to Permian (Ziegler, 1990;
