pdf Marginal systems of ancient platforms - the main centers of hydrocarbon generation
The marginal parts of ancient platforms are characterized by increased thicknesses of sedimentary section. The thickness of the sedimentary cover varies from 1-2 km to 5-8 km. Discoveries of the last decades prove the great petroleum potential of the marginal parts of ancient platforms, the oil and gas content of which is known in a wide stratigraphic interval. In general, two types of marginal systems are distinguished: active and passive. The longest stage of formation of marginal systems falls on the passive stage, in the conditions of which a large volume of organic and rock material is accumulated. An important factor in assessing the oil and gas content of marginal systems is the contact time, which can lead to the destruction of formed hydrocarbon systems. This article presents a lateral model of the sedimentary cover structure of marginal systems.

Keywords: sedimentary cover, marginal system of the ancient platform, hydrocarbons generation, petroleum potential of the platform marginal system.

pdf Geological model and petroleum perspectives of the southern part of the Chernyshov Ridge
The results of the analysis of geological petroleum exploration in the southern part of the Chernyshеv ridge, Pre-Ural Foredeep are presented. In 2018-2019, 2D seismic surveys were carried out within the Sar'yugin subsurface area, its geological structure was clarified, and the resource potential was evaluated. The greatest hydrocarbon resources are predicted in the Carboniferous - Lower Permian carbonate section. High exploration risks are related with the widespread development of thrust tectonics and the complex structure of hydrocarbon traps.

Keywords: petroleum exploration activity, 2D-seismic, carbonate reservoir, Carboniferous - Lower Permian carbonate section, hydrocarbon resources, Chernyshеv ridge, Pre-Ural Foredeep.

pdf Results of geological exploration activity for oil and gas within the Chernyshev Ridge and the Western Pre-Polar Ural slope
The results of the analysis of geological exploration for oil and gas in the northern part of the Pre-Ural Foredeep and the Western Ural area of linear folded-thrust structures are presented. Currently, the prospects are associated with these areas and a significant amount of exploration activity has already been carried out, including the MOGT-3D seismic survey and drilling. The greatest hydrocarbon resources are predicted in the Carboniferous - Lower Permian carbonate section. High exploration risks are associated with the widespread development of thrust tectonics and the complicated nature of carbonate reservoirs.

Keywords: oil and gas exploration activity, hydrocarbon resources, carbonate reservoir, Carboniferous - Lower Permian carbonate section, Chernyshеv Ridge, Pre-Ural Foredeep.

pdf Geological structure and development of the southern margin of the Pechora-Kozhva megaswell
The multi-stage history of geological development of the Pechora-Kozhva megaswell as inland paleorift zone was described from the beginning of the earth's crust stretching in the Early Paleozoic up to inversion in the Middle - Late Carboniferous - Triassic as a result of collision processes of Ural geosyncline. The main reserves of oil, gas and gas condensate, which are discovered and currently being developed within megaswell, are confined to the Middle Devonian - Frasnian oil and gas complexes. As a result of re-interpretation of CDP-2D, 3D seismic data, made in branch of VNIIGAZ, and taking into account all geological and geophysical data accumulated by exploration, the structural evolution of the southern part of the Pechora-Kozhva megaswell was refined; and series of paleotectonic and modern profiles were drawn.

Keywords: history of geological development, structural evolution, paleorift zone, paleoreconstruction, Pechora-Kozhva megaswell.
