Abstract
Uplift and erosion events in the geological history of the sedimentary basins resulted in destruction of hydrocarbon traps and accumulations in the Barents Sea. Magnitude of this impact was different in different basins. In our study we use and integrate Different data available, from Russian and Norwegian sectors of the Barents Sea, has been used in order to estimate regional trends in the area. and extend of these events. Understanding of maximum burial depth of the sediments give important information about reservoir quality, source rock maturation and migration in an area. for estimation of the magnitude of uplift. The trends in porosity variation evaluated from well data can be used for restoration of to maximum burial of different formations. Regional porosity and temperature trends for various reservoirs in the Barents Sea were studied to estimate maximum burial depth of the sediments. Mapped trends of reservoir properties on the regional basis improve accuracy of our predictions in frontier areas of the Barents Sea.
