The surfaces were generated from the structural depth contour plots. Well control was applied after initial surface modelling.

Surfaces modelled are (numbers relate to stratigraphic order):

01 Variscan Unconformity

02 Base Warwickshire Group

03 Top Namurian

4 Top Dinantian

5 Caledonian Unconformity
