The biggest area looks to be north of Russia. Just imagine something much more than the North Sea, Alaska North Slope, etc. Edited November 12, 2019 by canadas canadas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Douglas Buckland + 6,308 November 12, 2019 Well, it helps if you have a major river dumping out on the continental shelf to create a depositional environment and source material for the generation of fossil fuels. Continental shelves, in an of themselves, do not necessarily indicate that oil or gas will be found there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also some offset orogeny adjacent to a basin for providing heat, pressure and basin flexure may also be needed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
