Oil and gas potential of lower carboniferous deposits of the north of the Preural foredeep

The capacities and oil and gas properties of terrigenous-carbonate Tournaisian-Visean sediments of the Lower Carboniferous of the Kosyu-Rogovskaya depression of the Timan-Pechora province are analyzed. The conducted geochemical studies of the organic matter of the rock complex made it possible to clarify the assessment of their hydrocarbon potential and the degree of maturity of the organic matter contained in them, as well as to identify the zones of the most likely foci of hydrocarbon generation in the Lower Carboniferous deposits.
