Assessment of the hydrocarbon potential of the Bering Sea
Background. The issues of hydrocarbon (HC) forecasting and prospecting on sea shelves remain relevant. In this paper, an experience of assessing the hydrocarbon potential of the Bering Sea using the method of basin modelling is demonstrated.Aim. To assess the hydrocarbon potential of the Bering Sea...
