New approach to oil and gas potential of Barents Sea and Timan-Pechora basin

Conference ·
OSTI ID:136655

High temperatures at large depths of Barents shelf and Timan-Pechora basin cause the formation of homogeneous steam-liquid mixtures consisting of supercritical water and dissolved hydrocarbons. The analysis of thermobaric conditions allowed to distinguish the zones of possible hydrocarbon accumulation. The conclusions allow to make more precise future exploration.
