Petroleum Geology and Hydrocarbon Prospectivity of the Laptev Sea

The Laptev Sea has a Mesozoic and older "basement" which in part is a continuation of the structures within the Yenisei-Khatanga Trough. However, the present structure is the product of a series of Cenozoic rifting events.

Laptev Sea, Enclosure 3

There is therefore a very thick sedimentary succession with considerable hydrocarbon prospectivity. A significant amount of seismic has been shot, parts of which have been published. The basin is virtually undrilled.

The report includes many colour illustrations and large-format enclosures.All maps are georeferenced and are available in ArcGIS format.

The report is available now at a cost of US $18,000. Companies purchasing this report together with Blackbourn's report on the Yenisei-Khatanga Trough may do so for a combined price of US $32,000.

For further details, please contact Dr Graham Blackbourn.
