Abstract
Maximum temperatures have been obtained at about 25 locations on the Barents Shelf using sterare and hopane isomerisation at C-20 and C-22, vitrinite reflectance and Apatite Fission Track Analysis (AFTA). Isomerisation modelling employs tested and validated distributed kinetic models (Ritter et al., 1993a, in press), vitrinite reflectance temperaturen are derived from a slightly modified version of the model of Sweeney and Burnham (1990) and AFTA data have been determined using the method described by Greeen et al. (1989).
