Özet:Southern North Sea Basin is one of the mature hydrocarbon basins in NW Europe and is shaped by a number of phases of tectonic deformations during the Phanerozoic. In addition, mobilization and halokinesis of thick Permian Zechstein Salt has enhanced and contributed to the deformation of the region since Triassic, which further complicated the geology of the region. The Friesland Platform, which is a stable platform area located in northern Netherlands, experienced the main deformation phases that Europe has been endured together with the deformation of Permian Zechstein salt. In this study a computer based 3D modeling has been carried out within the Friesland Platform with the use of 3D seismic and borehole data in order to delineate structural elements and geological development of the area with special emphasis on the salt tectonic deformation. The model was constructed by picking key horizons and major faults from the seismic sections in time domain and then migrated into depth domain. The stratigraphy of the area is correlated with horizons by well-seismic matching. The model includes major structures and seismostratigraphic units of Permian to recent, revealing salt and salt induced structures formed during the periods of active salt movements. Thick Zechstein salt layers deposited in N-S-oriented grabens and half grabens of South Permian Basin acted as the primary control for the location of salt diapirs and are reflected on the overburden without a direct continuation (unlinked) of the basement faults into the overburden. The mapped N-S oriented salt-cored anticline and a convergent conjugate transfer zone between a pair of segmented normal growth faults at the crest of the anticline are controlled by the ascent of the Zechstein salt.
