Deposition of the Brae sands and conglomerates in the South Viking Graben overlaps the depositional timeframe of the Magnus sands. 

The petroleum population 1 has not been modelled in this study and the fill-spill system from the south, terminating in the Gullfaks field, is maintained. The supposed source area for this population is the North Viking Graben (Thomas et al. 1985 Di Primio et al. 1998). The concluding filling directions are indicated in Figure 11.

Fig. 30. GOR in petroleums off Mid-Norway. The phase envelope represents an empirical envelope from the Viking Graben (see Karlsen et al. 1995 England Mackenzie 1989) and suggests that condensates/gases of the region originated by migration induced fractionation rather than high or super-high maturity.
