How can we explore the Russian Arctic Shelf?

The Arctic is often referred to as ‘the next global frontier’ – but is it possible to explore at reasonable cost?

Unlocking the Secrets of the Barents Sea

The complexity of the Western Barents Sea necessitates the use of all available geological and geophysical data when undertaking regional interpretations, play fairway assessments and prospect definition.

South-Western Barents Sea: Improved Imaging with Long-offset Data

The influence of the Stappen High on the petroleum potential of the Sørvestsnaget Basin, south-western Barents Sea has been revealed by newly acquired 2D data

The Next Global Frontier

The Arctic is the next, and maybe the most challenging, global frontier – but how can it be effectively explored with only a two-month ice-free season?

This Year’s Frontier

The Arctic and the Bay of Bengal are two exciting but very different frontier areas, both suggesting great potential, but offering many challenges to the hydrocarbon industry.

Agreement in the Barents Sea

“This is a historic day. We have reached a breakthrough in the most important outstanding issue between Norway and the Russian Federation,” said Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg prior to the signing of an agreement between the Norwegian and the Russian negotiating delegations on the bilateral maritime delimitation in the Barents Sea and the Arctic Ocean.

Gas Hydrates-Not So Unconventional

Recent tests in the Arctic permafrost clearly demonstrates that gas hydrates can be produced using current technologies, opening the door for a new, viable energy source.

Striving to Define an Oil Province

The future of the Norwegian Barents Sea, following almost 30 years of exploration, is still in the making. A new look at the petroleum systems in combination with high quality seismic data may reveal the hidden secrets of this huge geological province that has already proven an exceptionally high technical success rate.

Russian Chukchi Sea

The Russian sector of the Chukchi Sea is a frontier exploration province with little seismic data and no wells. Despite this lack of crucial geological information, regional correlations with the American sector indicate that the potential of this vast region may be substantial.
