AB  - <jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title><jats:p>This paper outlines the use of the shoreline trajectory concept to understand the controls on nettransgressive reservoir distribution and architecture in the highly productive Middle and Late Jurassic plays in the North Sea. Two broad groups of regressive–transgressive sandstone tongue are identified, with distinctive geometries, architectures and values of nettransgressive shoreline trajectory defined by the stacking arrangement of multiple tongues. Shoreface tongues were supplied by longshoretransported, marinereworked sediment and are associated with lowtomoderate transgressive trajectories (typically <0.2°). These tongues have variable dip extents that decrease weakly as the angle of shoreline trajectory increases, relatively small thicknesses that increase weakly with the angle of transgressive trajectory, and partial or no overlap with underlying and overlying tongues down depositional dip. Deltaictoestuarine tongues were supplied directly by fluvial sediment and are associated with moderatetovery high transgressive trajectories (typically >0.1°). These tongues have small dip extents, variable thicknesses that increase weakly with the angle of transgressive trajectory, and partial to full overlap with underlying and overlying tongues down depositional dip, although vertically stacked tongues are separated by thin mudstones over much of their extents. There is some overlap in geometry and stacking arrangement of these two groups of sandstone tongues. The temporal and spatial distribution of shoreface and deltaictoestuarine sandstone tongues reflects linked variations in tectonic subsidence and sediment routing within the evolving rift basin. Deltaictoestuarine tongues with moderatetovery high transgressive trajectories were developed in rapidly subsiding faultbounded depocentres supplied directly by fluvial sediment, whereas shoreface tongues with lowtomode
