Resumé
The Palaeogene volcanic province of central West Greenland extends for
550 km from north to south and 200 km from east to west (Henderson 1973;
Henderson et al. 1981; Whittaker 1996). In a preliminary
interpretation of the area offshore Disko and Nuussuaq, based on older
seismic data, Whittaker (1996) described a number of large rotated fault
blocks containing structural closures at top volcanic level that could
indicate leads capable of trapping hydrocarbons. This work, combined
with the discovery of oil in the basalts onshore, led the Geological
Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) to acquire 1960 km of
multi-channel 2D seismic data in the area between 68°N and 71°N in 1995
(Fig. 1). These seismic data are the primary data source for the
interpretation presented in this paper.
