Silurian carbonate deposits of the Chernyshev Ridge: study history and oil and gas content

We review published literature on the Chernyshev Ridge geological studies. Based on the historical and recent data analysis, a brief overview of the Silurian deposits is provided. The reservoir properties of carbonate rocks and their capacity characteristics, hydrocarbon potential, are considered. Priority zones for the exploration of possible hydrocarbon accumulations in the ridge are proposed.
