Estimation of the Forecast Hydrocarbon Resources of the North-Eastern Arctic Shelf of Russia

Abstract

In the northeastern part of Russia, the shelfs of the Laptev, East Siberian and Chukchi seas are promising for hydrocarbon raw materials. This article presents the predicted hydrocarbon reserves on the eastern Arctic shelf of Russia by various authors. The oil and gas potential of the northeastern part of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is shown to provide an opportunity for prospecting and the discovery of predicted hydrocarbon deposits, which will significantly optimize the fuel and energy balances of the Arctic regions of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
