The exploration of shale oil is still the actual problem in the Western Siberia. The Upper Jurassic Bazhenov bituminous strata are widespread here. The Bazhenov strata is perspective shale formation because it has the high quantity of organic carbon and considerable thickness. This region is the most interesting for exploration of shale oil. The object of research are located within the Koltogor-Urengoy paleorift and its fraiming structure. The reconstruction of the tectonic and thermal history of Bazhenov formati...

The work is devoted to the West Siberian sedimentary basin Bazhenov formation (or Bazhenov shale) ? a unique oil-generating and oil-bearing geological formation. Bazhenov shale is an analog of the known shale oil deposits: Bakken, Eagle Ford and Monterrey (USA). Geological and geophysical exploration of bazhenites is an important problem today, which is connected with development of new methods and technologies of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs exploitation. The work is devoted to physical and chemical prop...
