Forecasting of hydrocarbon-prospective ring-shaped structures in the Barents region based on the results of the stochastic method using a set of geoparameters

Abstract

The article presents the results of the application of the stochastic method used to predict hydrocarbon-prospective geostructures of a concentric type within the Barents Sea region. According to the calculated values of stochastic parameters for the 21 geostructures of a concentric view in the waters of the Barents region, based on four different geoparameters a summary table of stochastic parameters was compiled and an encouraging forecast was made for 13 concentric geostructures promising for the search for new oil deposits within the Barents Sea region.
