Abstract

The South Okhotsk Sea province, which includes the Sakhalin, Kunashir, Iturup, Urup islands and surrounding sea areas, comprises numerous occurrences of rare, noble metals and other mineralization, as well as petroleum fields, gas hydrate accumulations, and, locally, active emission of water–hydrocarbon gases. The occurrences and deposits of solid, liquid, and gaseous mineral resources are controlled by hidden deep-seated transform-type fault zones: Nosappu (Tuscarora), Iturup, and Urup. These long-lived extended (over 1000 km) zones are distinguished on the NW Pacific megaplate margin, near the SE flank of the Kuril–Kamchatka trough. Using seismotomographic methods we have established their extension to the west from the seismic focal zone in the oceanic slab subsided into mantle transition zone. In the areas of pull-apart extension, the faults provided active formation of drainage channels for seawater penetration in the lithosphere with subsequent serpentinization of its ultramafic rocks, and for decompressional generation of ascending mantle-derived abiogenic fluid flows. The latter penetrated from the subslab asthenosphere into the suprasubduction mantle wedge and sublithospheric mantle and caused metasomatism. The subsequent migration of the flows led to the generation of the primary magma reservoirs in the lower parts of the continental lithosphere, and intermediate and peripheral chambers in the Earth’s crust. The injection of melts from the chambers in the consolidated crust led to the formation of abyssal and hypabyssal intrusive massifs, arch-dome uplifts, and magmatogenic-ore systems predominantly among the rocks of the pre-Pliocene basement. The concentration of oil and gas accumulations from the mantle-derived abiogenic hydrocarbons bearing mercury, gold, rhenium, and PGE in reservoirs beneath fluid-impermeable beds among Cenozoic sedimentary basins also was related to deep sub- and supraslab fluid flows.
