Conclusions
Confirmation of the geological model for sand deposits above
Westphalian B subcrop (Sand box concept)
Fluid inclusions can not conclude on the reason of the failure
Migration from northern kitchen may be deflected by closed
N45 faults
These transfer faults have hardly any vertical throw but may
form significant barriers to fluid flow. This is not fully
understood today
Beware of certainties even in a mature area
