The Jurassic deposits have the high prospectivity for hydrocarbon exploration in the Barents Sea. Productivity have been
proved on a number of the hydrocarbon fields on the Russian and Norwegian sectors. Besides significant accumulations
of gas and condensate, a new first oil field have been discovered on the western part of the shelf. Sedimentary cycles
can be marked out in the Jurassic section due to several periodic changes of deposition. High prospective sandstone
reservoirs have been deposited in the regressive periods. Seals are represented by the regional shale layers which were
formed during transgressions. A new oil and gas reservoirs can be found not only on the anticline structures. A huge
amount of large lithological traps can be marked out.
