Geological model and prospects of oil and gas bearing deposits of the silurian complex of the Pechora sea shelf

Abstract

The task of this work is the desire of the authors to draw attention to the problem of ac-celerating the pace of searches for promising Arctic objects on the shelf of the Pechora Sea and additional exploration of already discovered deposits in the Silurian oil and gas complex on the territory of the Varandei-Adzva structural zone (VASZ). The main result of the previously per-formed offshore exploration work is the identification of a new oil-bearing area in the eastern part of the Pechoromorsky shelf. Large oil fields have been discovered here: Prirazlomnoye, Varandey-sea, Medynskoye-sea, Dolginskoye. The proven reserves and resources of hydrocarbons (HC) allow us to assume that in the near future a new oil-producing area will be formed on the shelf of the Pechora Sea. In total, the initial raw oil resources in the Pechora Sea are more than 3500 mln tons. Keywords: Pechora sea; silurian oil and gas complex; silurian; oil.
