1964年，随着《大陆架法》的实施，联合王国颁发了第一批海上许可证，随后的勘探活动发现了约200亿桶石油储量和70万亿立方英尺的可采天然气，其中大部分位于北海盆地。因此，本书中的大部分论文集中在这一地区也就不足为奇了。在这一地区，特殊而有利的构造演化导致了良好的烃源岩的重合，埋藏足够深;良好的储集层发育;以及与油气生成和运移有关的及时圈闭形成。本文的目的是总结各种构造阶段，这些构造阶段对不列颠群岛和周围领土沃茨复杂的地质演化做出了贡献，并追踪它们对油气生境发展的影响。
In 1964, following the implementation of the 'Continental Shelf Act', the first offshore licences in the United Kingdom were awarded.Subsequent exploration activities have resulted in the discovery of some 20 billions barrels of oil reserves and 70 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas, most of which are located in the North Sea Basin. It is no surprise, therefore, that most of the papers presented in this volume concentrate on this area, where a particular and favourable tectonic evolution has lead to the coincidence of good source rocks, sufficiently deeply buried; good reservoir development; and timely trap formation in relation to hydrocarbon generation and migration. It is the purpose of this contribution to summarize the various tectonic phases which have contributed to the complex geological evolution of the British Isles and surrounding territorial waters and trace their impact upon the development of the hydrocarbon habitat.
