Abstract
The East Siberian Sea is of significant interest from the point of view of hydrocarbon prospecting, however, the assessment of their hydrocarbon potential is difficult due to poor geophysical knowledge and the absence of wells. In such conditions, the method of geological analogies is often used. As a result of the application of the technology of basin modeling by the method of geological analogies, the Petromod program has created structural-tectonic models of the basement and sedimentary cover in the eastern Arctic waters, which are included in a single model due to the fact that the studied sedimentary basins are part of one continental margin and their boundaries do not always coincide with the conditional boundaries of the water areas. Structuraltectonic analysis indicates a high hydrocarbon potential and makes it possible to identify the most promising areas and objects, as well as to outline the directions for further exploration work.
