【 摘 要 】

The paper aims at providing safe development of oil and gas deposits in the offshore area of the Kara and Barents seas where promising hydrocarbon deposits are located. For these water areas marine oil and gas structures construction projects are designed, primarily in connection with the plans for oil and gas fields' development. Icebergs belong to such kind of drifting ice features, the action of which in most cases neither floating, nor stationary marine hydraulic structures can withstand. The danger of a large drifting iceberg effect on exploration and production platforms, oil and gas pipelines is obvious, therefore, the iceberg - structure hit probability prediction is of great applied importance. The aim of the paper is probabilistic modelling of icebergs to prevent their collision with structures, the Kara and Barents seas taken as an example.
