There are six deep hydrocarbons boreholes, within or adjacent to the Andover district, which provide evidence of the strata encountered at depth. Figure P807821 shows the location of the boreholes and Figure 4 details the stratal thicknesses within each. Seismic sections show that Ordovician to Carboniferous strata form the basement beneath the area.

Location of key deep hydrocarbons boreholes in the Andover district and adjacent areas. P807821.

Additional data in nearby deep wells such as Farley South, Stockbridge, Lockerly and Humbly Grove can be found in Hopson et al. (2007)[1], Booth (2002)[2] and Farrant (2002)[3].
