In 2011, Skrugard discovery (well 7220/8-1) made an explorational breakthrough in the south- western Barents Sea. Earlier this year, Havis discovery (well 7220/7-1) was found in the same area. Both two discoveries are in the production license PL 532. However, there are many dry wells (7219/9-1, 7219/8-1S) in the same area before these two discoveries. The objective of this master thesis is to figure out why there found commercial hydrocarbon in Skrugard and Havis rather than other areas close to them, furthermore contribute to a better understanding of the petroleum system in the south-western Barents Sea.
