Abstract

For the first time, the interpretation of the upper part of the sections of common depth point seismic survey of JSC MAGE in the north-western area of the East Siberian Sea in the volume of 8200 km was conducted. 129 local heterogeneities—potential gas deposits were revealed, located with an average distance of 63.6 km along the lines, which is 5.2–6.2 times rarer than in the Chukchi, Laptev and Bering seas. It is established that the study area is characterized by a smaller number of active faults reaching near-bottom sediments compared to the three mentioned seas, which indicates its lower neotectonic activity. In the study area, 123 local depressions in the bottom topography were revealed, associated with ice gouging furrows—plough marks.
