Arctic geology and petroleum potential : proceedings of the Norwegian Petroleum Society conference, 15-17 August 1990, Troms�, Norway /
Since the search for hydrocarbon resources in the Arctic started in the 1930's the exploration activity has expanded into many of the Arctic regions, and several of the Arctic sedimentary basins have proven to be important sources of hydrocarbon. Nevertheless, the Arctic continental margins and...
