The Heather Formation is in turn overlain by a thick Upper [[Jurassic]] [[synrift]] sequence of interbedded [[claystone]]s and [[sandstone]]s that comprise the Kimmeridge Clay Formation and Brae [[sandstone]] member intervals deposited across the [[South Viking Graben]] area<ref name=Spenceandkreutz2003 />).

The Upper [[Jurassic]] Brae [[sandstone]] member can be [[stratigraphy|stratigraphically]] subdivided into a number of sub-intervals or zones based on the recognition and correlation of maximum flooding surface [[shale]]s from biostratigraphy and well log data sets. Based on the Shell stratigraphic scheme, the Brae sandstone member is subdivided into the Brae 1 and Brae 2 zones and each zone can in turn be further subdivided into two discrete sandstone units ([[:file:M115CH10FG04.jpg|Figure 4]]).
