Outlooks for discovery of new fields within the framework of Arctic continental shelf
The team of Petroleum geology department of M.V. Lomonosov Moscow state university (Geology faculty) grounds basin analysis on a principle of relevance between forming of structure and oil-gas-bearing capacity of ancient sedimentary paleobasin (nowadays it could be folded and metamorphized) and its state-of-art structure plan as a direct object of search for hydrocarbons. The scientists of Department also deal with studying the structure of oil-gas-bearing of Arctic basins from the angle of separate forecast for oil accumulation and gas accumulation zoning. The main idea of composing basin structure for separate phase forecast is picking out the epicenter of submergence and framing zones in any sedimentary basin. The article shows outlooks for oil-and-gas-bearing capacity of Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cainozoic basins of Russian Arctic.
