Abstract

This paper presents the results of analysis and numerical modeling of the sedimentary basins of the riftogenic trough of the Tatar Strait, the Sea of Japan, which allowed the creation of its 3D structural model and determination of the conditions for the formation of its generation-accumulation hydrocarbon systems. To study the geodynamic evolution of the sedimentary basins in the Tatar Strait, the digital reconstruction of the history of subsidence and sedimentation was performed using the numerical basin modeling technologies. The chronothermobaric conditions of the occurrence and evolution of the sources of hydrocarbon generation and the formation of oil and gas accumulations in the sedimentary basins of the riftogenic trough were reconstructed by 3D modeling of the generation–accumulation hydrocarbon systems using PetroMod software (Schlumberger, Ltd., United States). Modeling of the hydrocarbon systems revealed the fundamental features of their structure in the Tatar Strait water area at the modern stage of their development, which are generally as follows: the sources of hydrocarbon generation are located in the depressions of the sedimentary basins, the rock maturity decreases from south to north with their occurrence depths, and hydrocarbons accumulate along the marginal zones of the basins.
