Figure 23. Schematic south-north cross section in eastern NPRA showing stratigraphic positions of major source rocks, generalized geometry of Brookian and Beaufortian strata, and inferred scenarios for migration of hydrocarbons from source rocks to stratigraphic traps in the Beaufortian Lower Jurassic Topset Play. Colors of Beaufortian strata are same as sequence sets defined in Fig. 3 (blue, K1; yellow, K2; green, K3; tan; K4). Strata involved in the Beaufortian Lower Jurassic Topset Play are outlined by black dotted line. “Regional” migration is inferred to have occurred along regionally extensive migration pathways, such as the Lower Cretaceous Unconformity (LCU) and the Sag River Sandstone. “Local” migration is inferred to have occurred along sub-regional or local migration pathways, such as clinoforms within Beaufortian strata and fractures.
