More details about the topic:
The Barents Sea is one of the largest oil and gas basins in Russia with proven resources. The unique Shtokman and large Ledovoe and Ludlow gas fields were discovered in the Jurassic deposits on the Russian part of the Barents Sea. Jurassic sandstones are also productive in the Norwegian sector, where the Snovit gas field and Havis and Skrugart oil and gas fields were found. In 2013 Norwegian geologists made a new oil discovery in the Lower and Middle Jurassic reservoirs in the Hoop-Maud basin on the northern part of the Norwegian shelf. The Jurassic complex is promising for new discoveries but its structure and genesis remains unclear.
Partial or total absence of the Jurassic deposits in some areas of the Barents Sea, poor well and seismic data, weak correlation of data from the Russian and Norwegian sectors of the Barents Sea complicate the allocation and forecast reservoir distribution zones throughout the Barents Sea. A new model describing the deposition environments, structure and composition of the Jurassic reservoirs is necessary for planning exploration activities on the new structures of the Barents Sea shelf and the selection of objects for licensing. New seismic data obtained from the Russian and Norwegian sectors of the Barents Sea made it possible to identify the area of the Jurassic oil and gas bearing complex, estimate its thickness, trace the direction of the sediment transport and establish a consistent change in sedimentation. A comprehensive analysis of the regional structure of the Jurassic oil and gas complex and detailed studies of the local areas allows to predict the distribution zones of Jurassic high-capacity reservoirs on the Barents structures and assess the prospects of their oil and gas potential.
Development and discovery of new fields in the Barents Sea region is one of the priorities of the long-term state program for the study of mineral resources and the reproduction of Russia's hydrocarbon resources.
