      In the past three decades, the hydrocarbon prospectivity has been enigmatic in the southwestern Barents Sea as gas discoveries have dominated over oil. However, more recent discoveries indicate oil potential, especially in the Polheim Platform and Hoop Complex areas. Cenozoic uplift and erosion episodes are critical because they control the duration and depth of maximum burial of source rocks and ...

      The Finnmark Platform Composite Tectono-Sedimentary Element (CTSE), located in the southern Barents Sea, is a northward-dipping monoclinal structural unit. It covers most of the southern Norwegian Barents Sea where it borders the Norwegian mainland. Except for the different age of basement, the CTSE extends eastwards into the Kola Monocline on the Russian part of the Barents Sea. <p> <p>The general ...
