The Southern Ocean, also known as the Great Southern Ocean, the Antarctic Ocean and the South Polar Ocean, comprises the southernmost waters of the World Ocean south of 60° S latitude. The International Hydrographic Organization has designated the Southern Ocean as an oceanic division encircling Antarctica. Geographers disagree on the Southern Ocean's northern boundary or even its existence, sometimes considering the waters part of the South Pacific, South Atlantic, and Indian Oceans instead. Some scientists consider the Antarctic Convergence, an ocean zone which fluctuates seasonally, as separating the Southern Ocean from other oceans, rather than 60° S. This ocean zone forms from the convergence of two circumpolar currents, one easterly flowing and one westerly flowing. The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) regards the Southern Ocean as the fourth-largest of the five principal oceanic divisions and the latest-defined one. 3, record 8, English, - Antarctic%20Ocean

Alors que les gisements pétroliers et gaziers de la mer du Nord atteignent leur pic de production, les réserves supposées d’hydrocarbures de la mer de Barents, au-delà du cercle polaire, attisent les convoitises du gouvernement et des entreprises de ce pays troisième exportateur mondial de gaz et de pétrole.

Les réserves «non prouvées» correspondent à la quantité d’hydrocarbures qu’il serait économiquement rentable de récupérer à partir de gisements connus, mais avec un degré de certitude moins grand. Les réserves «spéculatives» constituent une catégorie encore moins certaine : ce sont des gisements non encore découverts, mais dont les évaluations géologiques et techniques permettent de croire qu’ils pourraient éventuellement être découverts ou devenir économiquement récupérables. La somme des réserves établies, non prouvées et spéculatives s’appelle «potentiel de récupération». Si on y ajoute la production cumulative, on parle de «potentiel ultime de récupération». 6, record 11, French, - r%C3%A9serves%20sp%C3%A9culatives
