Abstract
The Barents Sea is one of the most economically prospective regions rich in petroleum resources. Source rocks investigations leads to more precise understanding of the basin overview and types of hydrocarbons, which could have been generated during the basin history.The present work is devoted to the studies of Upper Jurassic deposits of the Barents Sea as probable perspective source rocks. 21 samples of source rock were analysed and a set of new geochemical data was obtaned . The Upper Jurassic deposits in the Barents Sea are characterized by good oil and gas source properties.
