	In the Timan-Pechora petroleum province, a significant number of oil and gas objects are still not involved in exploration and development activity to date. These objects can be integrated into a general category of «unclaimed objects». They include both already identified oil and gas accumulations additional exploration and development of which are restricted by various negative factors (geological, economic, technological, environmental) and prospective objects in oil and gas accumulation zones, evaluation of which is difficult because of insufficient or substandard information about their geological structure and also existing negative exploration concepts. Hydrocarbon potential for the unclaimed oil and gas objects has been examined and substantiated. Classification of the unclaimed objects and approaches to quantitative assessment of their oil and gas resources have been considered. It is shown that involving unclaimed hydrocarbon objects into exploration process will significantly increase oil and gas resource base of the Timan-Pechora province. Keywords: oil, gas, unclaimed hydrocarbon objects, petroleum resources.
