Abstract

The Barents Sea Basin is the greatest sedimentary basin of the Arctic. The geology of the basin is quite well investigated by geophysics and deep wells. Geological history of the basin gives very good potential for substantial hydrocarbon field formation. But significant vertical movement and erosion in the last stages of geological history have probably destroyed some oil fields. Modelling of the burial history, hydrocarbon generation, and migration was done for the East Barents Sea region to determine the location of potential oilfields (Fig.1). Flexural modelling of recent vertical movement was done to explain erosion and the destruction of oilfields.
