Assessment of prospects of CRUST model application to study the structure and oil and gas content of the Arctic water areas
The comparative analysis witnesses the fact that CRUST model as global, worldwide model is not optimal in case of studying some small regional areas of the earth's crust. The model fixes global peculiarities of the earth's crust structure and identifies large, basic tectonic elements. CRUST model is not applicable for predicting the structure and petroleum potential of the Arctic region of Russia.
