pdf Features of pyrolytic studies of magnesite-bearing rocks of the Vendian-Cambrian strata of the Lena-Tunguska petroleum province
The results of pyrolytic studies of carbonate rocks of Vendian-Cambrian strata, penetrated by parametric and exploratory wells within the eastern part of the Lena-Tunguska petroleum province, are summarized. The decomposition characteristics of various carbonate minerals and their influence on the results of pyrolytic studies using the Rock-Eval method are described. To confirm this, a correlation between geochemical and lithological (X-ray diffraction analysis) studies was conducted. New data on the distribution of magnesites in the Upper Vendian Byuk Formation are presented.

Keywords: carbonate rock, magnesite, Vendian-Cambrian strata, Rock-Eval, X-ray diffraction analysis, Lena-Tunguska petroleum province.

pdf  Genetic groups and sources of oils in the central part of the Volga-Urals petroleum province
Geochemistry of oils in the central part of Volga-Urals petroleum province, composition and distribution of biomarkers are considered. The principal distinction between two genetic oil groups is related to different lithology of their source rocks. The linkage between one of the oil groups with Middle Frasnian and Upper Frasnian-Tournaisian “domanic” deposits is shown. Pyrolysis data permitted estimation of amount of hydrocarbon expulsion from “domanic” source rocks.

Key words: genetic typification of oils, biomarkers, petroleum potential, hydrocarbon expulsion, Volga-Urals petroleum province.

pdf  Upper Proterozoic formations of Siberian platform – main source of oil and gas of Pre-Mesozoic megabasin
The history of the oil and gas genesis in the Riphean and Vendian complexes of Siberian platform was studied. Biomarkers were used to make the oils and syn-bitumens correlation with source rocks. Generally the oils of Nepa-Botuoba anteclise are genetically related to the Vendian source rocks, while the oils of Baikit anteclise and Katanga saddle are genetically related to the Riphean source rocks. The main source of oil and gas of the Pre-Mesozoic megabasin of Siberian platform are the Upper Proterozoic (Rifean and Vendian) source rocks.
Key words: oil and gas genesis, Riphean, Vendian, catagenetical «unconformity», hydrocarbons, biomarkers.
