Note 1: At the edges of Work Package (WP) areas there is limited seismic line coverage. Consequently, the gridding software has less data points upon which to base the grids, which may lead to inaccuracies at the edges particularly if there is a large variation along single lines of data. Whilst there is a well-defined depocentre on the North Sea Fan at the mouth of the Norwegian Channel, the overlap between WP1 and WP2 requires better definition.
