Migrated oil on Novaya Zemlya, Russian Arctic: Evidence for a novel petroleum system in the eastern Barents Sea and the Kara Sea

摘要

In this article, we present evidence for the migration of Cretaceous or younger oil into Paleozoic strata on the islands of Novaya Zemlya, Russian Arctic, originating from the surrounding basins of the Barents Sea and the Kara Sea. We thus suggest a novel petroleum system for the greater Barents Sea and Kara Sea regions.
