    Abstract
  • The Arctic has great potential for oil and gas resources, and the exploration and development of oil and gas are still in the early stage. It is an important strategic region for the future petroleum exploration. On the basis of up to date data from IHS and USGS as well as investigation results of other studies, this paper aims at documenting the basin types and the distribution patterns of oil and gas resources in the Arctic. Our results show that there are at least 35 sedimentary basins in the Arctic, which consist of five rift, sixteen passive margin, five intra-cratonic, five forland and four oceanic basins. Rift basin is the type with the most abundant oil and gas resources in the Arctic, followed by the forland, passive margin and cratonic basin types. The proved and probable oil and gas reserves in rift basins amount to 44.112 billion tons of oil equivalent and accounts for 74.6% of the total reserves in the Arctic. Most of the oil and gas reserves in the Arctic are reservoired in the clastic reservoirs in the Cretaceous, Jurassic and Permian with a minor proportion in the Carboniferous and Devonian carbonates. The age and lithogogy of main reservoirs are different in different countries and petroliferous basins. Hydrocarbons in the Arctic were mainly derived from Jurassic and Cretaceous mudstones and shales, followed by Triassic and Devonian mudstones and shales. The trap types are dominated by combination trap, followed by structural trap. The investigation results of this study will establish a sound foundation for long-term oil and gas exploration programs of Chinese oil companies in the Arctic.
