Summary: | The Barents Sea, located close to the Arctic Ocean, is a petroleum province featuring an extensive occurrence of gas hydrates and shallow gas in compacted sediments. Glacial erosion and uplift have contributed to the migration of gas originating from deeper rocks to the shallow sediments of this region, resulting in hydrates with higher-order hydrocarbons in addition to methane. This article documents reported gas hydrate indications and major controls on hydrate stability in the Barents Sea. |
