    The nature and age of basement host rocks and fissure fills in the Lancaster field fractured reservoir, West of Shetland
    Hosting up to 3.3 billion barrels of oil in place, the upfaulted Precambrian crystalline rocks of the Lancaster field, offshore west of Shetland, give key insights into how fractured hydrocarbon reservoirs can form in such old rocks.
