Abstract
Introduction. The article presents the results of the 1D basin modeling in the territory of the West Taimyr potential oil and gas bearing area.
The purpose of this work is to generalize ideas about the development of petroleum systems in the West Taimyr potential oil and gas bearing area.
Materials and methods. As input information for building a 1D basin model, the results of drilling the first well on Leskinsky license area and geological and geochemical information on petroleum systems identified within the study area were used. The constructed model is calibrated to the actual data characterizing the thermal regime of the study area.
Results. The basin modeling technique within the territory of the West Taimyr potential oil and gas bearing area is described. The processes of hydrocarbon potential realization by the main source rocks were modeled in accordance with all available geological and geochemical information for the region.
Conclusions. The results of the study made it possible to assess the development of petroleum systems within the territory under consideration, identify the main uncertainties and outline the directions for future exploration.
