3D Modeling of Hydrocarbon Systems of North-Chukchi basin

3D modeling of the history of hydrocarbon systems formation in the North Chukchi Basin has been performed. A thermal history model has been constructed and calibrated using well data, and the possibility and scale of hydrocarbon generation have been estimated. Sedimentation modeling data have been used to estimate probable reservoir layers. The areas of probable hydrocarbon accumulation in the basin reservoirs have been estimated. The time of active generation of Cretaceous source rock is the Eocene, and of Eocene source is the Miocene-present. The localization and preservation of hydrocarbon fields significally depend on the quality of the seals and the configuration of the clinoform complex bodies.
