IMPLEMENTATION WAYS FOR OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION IN THE SOUTHWESTERN PART OF THE KARA SEA

In the highly promising oil and gas regions of Russia — the southwestern part of the Kara Sea, in the Pripaykhoi-Prinovozemelskaya monoclise in the near future, a transition from regional stage activity to exploration is planned. Given the complex natural, climatic and geological conditions of the region, during the effective exploration and development of oil and gas resources, it will be necessary to use new methodological solutions and research types. Based on the results of the research, and using the analogy method, the authors have substantiated the prospects for the region oil and gas potential and priority objects, and have drawn up an exploration program for promising objects.
