The Thermal Regime and Petroleum Potential in the Russian Sector of the Bering and Okhotsk Seas

A044 The Thermal Regime and Petroleum Potential in the Russian sector of the Bering and Okhotsk Seas. Abstract 1 In the Western part of the Bering sea and in the Okhotsk sea development of two rift systems: the Late Mesozoic-Cenozoic and Late Cenozoic. The high petroleum potential of these systems was proven by discovery of many oil/gas fields in the West Pacific rift belt. The connection between thermal regime of sedimentary cover and age of rifting or spreading can be using for divided all sedimentary basins and subbasins into three categories: the oil-gas bearing; potentially oil-gas bearing and non-prospective for
