	The results of interpretation of space images are used in this paper to estimate the potential of two regions in the south of Timan-Pechora oil-and-gas bearing province. The interpretation of the satellite images resulted in identification of 50 local objects as a predictor of undiscovered structures of hydrocarbon trap type. The calculations showed the increment of discovery probability of new hydrocarbon traps at nearly 1.5 times. It shows a high potential of investment in exploration of these areas. Keywords: hydrocarbon trap, interpretation, satellite images, probability assessment, fuzzy weights of evidence method.
