pdf Modeling of hydrocarbon generation history in Kuonamka Formation of Kureyka syneclise
The relevance of the research is caused by the need of new oil and gas production objects with the stagnancy of traditional petroleum regions on the background. Similarity of the main oil and gas system of Cambrian section of Kureyka syneclise (Kuonamka source rock and Mayian time clinoforms) to that of the Western Siberia Jurassic one (Bazhenov Formation and the Neocomian clinoforms) significantly increases the interest to the area and the prospects of its oil and gas potential.
The aim is to obtain numerical hydrocarbon generation model of Kureyka syneclise sedimentary cover for maturation period.
The methods: the research was realized on the base of Temisflow software. The calculation experiment methodic assumes to build 3D structural-lithological model of sedimentary cover of the area and then on its basis to reconstruct temperature history of the basin of study as well as to obtain kerogen transformation model using geochemistry of source rock of the area. Then hydrocarbon generation dynamics may be acquired.
Results: the regional-zonal schemes of hydrocarbon generation dynamics in Kuonamka source rock of the area are found. Hydrocarbon generation hotbeds are recognised, the amount of hydrocarbons generated by the source rock is assessed.

Keywords: hydrocarbon generation hotbed, hydrocarbon generation model, Kuonamka source rock, hydrocarbon generation dynamic, Kureyka syneclise, Eastern Siberia.
