A comparative study of the Uralian Foreland in the Timan-Pechora and Volga Urals basins reveals considerable differences in structure and petroleum habitat. These differences were in large measure controlled by their geodynamic settings. A typical scenario of the continental marginal basin which subsequently was modified in the foredeep basin took place in the Timan-Pechora basin. The sedimentary fill of the basin is made up of the Phanerozoic deposits only. The principal oil source rock is provided by the prolific Domanik Suite broadly developed in is eastern part of the basin. The mature Domanik source rocks charged the majority of oil and gas fields of the Timan-Pechora Basin. In the Volga Urals basin the sedimentary fill includes two overlapping foredeep sequence – Riphean and Paleozoic, of which the Riphean one is much thicker. The Riphean depocenters were subjected to structural inversion during the docking of the Magnitogorsk island arc to the Uralian margin in the Middle Devonian-Frasnian. The inversion was accompanied by the thickening of the Riphean section due to the reactivation of the pre-existing Precambrian deformation and caused the regional uplift in the Southern Uralian Foreland. This uplift led to shifting of the Domanik troughs to the westerly outboard part of the Volga-Uralian Basin. The Domanik source rock remained immature over much of the Southern Uralian Foreland which is interpreted to be a result of the inversion of the Riphean depocenters and related regional uplift. It is proposed that the enormous clustering of large oil deposits in the Paleozoic section of the south-eastern part of the Volga Uralian Basin was to a much extent produced by the charging from the multi-kilometer thick Riphean section of the Southern Uralian Foreland.

There is no consensus on the role of different source rocks (SRs) in the formation of the Krasnoleninskoe field. The main Upper Jurassic-Early Cretaceous SR of Western Siberia is represented on the Krasnoleninsky arch by the Tutleim formation (fm) (J3tt–K1v). It is overlain by argillaceous rocks of the Frolov fm (K1v–K1a), underlain by the Abalak (J2cl–J3km), Tyumen (J2a-b), Sherkalin (J1) formations and folded pre-Jurassic basement. All these formations potentially contain SR layers. The purpose of the article is to determine the sources of oil in the Krasnoleninskoe field by comparing oils with SRs and to determine of the history of oil composition formation. Based on a review of known geochemical parameters and the results of statistical analysis new molecular parameters for determining the type of organic matter (OM) and its maturity are proposed. A secondary processes of the oils of the Vikulov fm of the Kamennaya crest has been established, which is associated with the migration of hydrocarbons from the Vikulov fm to the overlying deposits. It is shown that the oils of the Vikulov fm of Kamennaya crest were formed from the SR, which was at the MC2 substage during the generation of hydrocarbons, and the oils of the Jurassic and pre-Jurassic deposits were formed on the end of MC2-beginning of MC3 substages. It was determined that the oils of Kamennaya crest have aquatic initial OM, aquatic OM was found in the Tutleim and Tyumen SRs. According to the criteria of OM type and its maturity, the source of Kamennaya crest oils cannot be determined; therefore, genetic features of the difference between the aquatic OM of the Tyumen and Tutleim formations were found. These features made it possible to estimate the source of oils for different parts of the Krasnoleninskoe field: for Kamennaya crest the Tutleim fm, for the Talinskaya area the Tyumen fm, for the Em-Egovskaya area, the Tyumen and Tutleim formations. Estimation of the contribution of the Sherkalin and Abalak SRs to the formation of hydrocarbon accumulations is beyond the scope of current work.

The displacement efficiency and residual oil saturation are the most important characteristics determining the recoverable volumes of oil and the waterflooding efficiency. The main data about these parameters are provided by laboratory core studies. Specialized field tests make it possible to evaluate the same characteristics in-situ, directly on a well, thus excluding the influence of scale effect and impact of core sampling and preparation. This paper presents the results of a field study to evaluate the displacement efficiency and residual oil saturation on a well draining terrigenous Devonian formations on one of the areas of the Romashkinskoye field. The results are compared with generalized dependencies based on core data. Significant influence of the scale effect (the effect of sweep multiplicity) on the estimated parameter values was noted, which indicates the need to supplement laboratory experiments with specialized field studies.

The modern idea of the geological structure of oil deposits of the Nizhnechutinskoye field is presented. The uniqueness of the field lies in the shallow depths of productive deposits. The oil-saturated layer is 100 m. The shallow depths of productive formations led to low formation temperature and pressure. Under such conditions, oil is inactive, characterized by high viscosity, and dissolved gas is practically absent. The features of the formation of the sedimentary cover in the area of the field predetermined the block structure, while the rocks of the productive horizon are characterized by a complex system of vertical fractures, which greatly complicates the process of oil recovery. A distinctive feature of the studied section of the field is the presence of effusive rocks underlying the main productive stratum and overlapping the lower productive layer. The article systematizes the results of field trial operation, which revealed a number of complicating factors, which is associated primarily with the uniqueness of the geological structure of the studied deposits. Despite the solid history of studying the Nizhnechutinskoye field, which has almost 300 years, given the negligible depth of productive deposits, oil production at this field still remains a difficult task.

Most classifications of reservoirs, seals and source rocks based on the ability of the rock to generate, accumulate and preserve hydrocarbons, and the genesis of rocks is not always taken into account. The article presents a ranking scheme for continental, coastal-marine and marine sedimentation environments that determine the genesis and properties of the basic criteria of petroleum potential – source rocks, reservoirs, seals and pinch-out traps. Rocks, which can consider as source rock, reservoirs and seals are formed in each depositional environment. However, their structure, mineral composition and distribution area will differ from each other depending on the sedimentary environment and conditions. A combination of elements of the hydrocarbon system formed, corresponding to the sedimentation environment and are characteristic for basins of various types. Continental environments are favorable for the formation of reservoirs and local seals, while the accumulation of source rocks limited by lacustrine, floodplain, and swamp facies. The coastal-marine environment is favorable for the formation of all the basic criteria of petroleum potential, and the transgressive-regressive cyclicity determines the interbedding of source rocks, reservoirs and seals in the section. The marine depositional environments are most favorable for the formation of regional seals and source rocks, including high-carbon formations. The proposed ranking scheme of sedimentary environments and the basic criteria of petroleum potential genetically related to them is applicable in system analysis and selection for analogues of petroleum system elements in sedimentary complexes formed in similar depositional environments.

In the context of the current trend, today we are focused on low-carbon energy, so the question of carbon dioxide utilization is very important. Underground storage of carbon dioxide is an important part of carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects and a key technology to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. There are currently many carbon dioxide capture projects around the world, but each project has its own specifics. The article discusses the features of carbon dioxide capture in natural geological reservoirs and the principles of carbon dioxide retention in them. An example of some Carbon Capture in a natural geological reservoirs projects are given. The choice of a natural reservoir, the development of a technology for its identification and justification criteria are of key importance for the environmentally sustainable capture of carbon dioxide.

The geological structure and the petroleum potential of the western part of the Russian Arctic shelf are still matter for disputes, especially due to the absence of deep drilling and scarce data. One of the key problems in assessing the petroleum potential of the North Kara Sea Basin and the adjacent North Barents Sea Basin is the lack of a proven stratigraphic model of the sedimentary cover. The article presents a model of the structure of the sedimentary cover of the northern part of the Barents-Kara Sea region based on the analysis of the regional seismic data and comparison with outcrop sections of the archipelagos and adjacent land. The structure of the archipelagos is determined by tectonic events and rearrangements, which also reflect on the structure of the offshore sedimentary basins. In the structure of the northern part of the Barents-Kara Sea region, three large structures can be distinguished: North Barents Sea Basin, East Barents Steps, and North Kara Sea Basin. The East Barents Steps formed during Baikal orogeny and in the Riphean-Early Paleozoic time were uplifted, and separated the North Barents Sea and North Kara Sea basins. The North Kara Sea Basin was probably formed in the Riphean and subsided in the Early Paleozoic, while the section of the North Barents Sea Basin is composed of a thick of Upper Paleozoic-Mesozoic sequence. In the Permian-Triassic time, the western slope of the East Barents Uplift was involved in the intensive subsidence of the North Barents Sea Basin and transformed to the steps, while the Lower Paleozoic succession were buried under a thick Permian-Triassic sequence. In the sedimentary cover of the northern part of the Barents-Kara shelf, four promising petroleum plays can be distinguished: pre-Upper Devonian, Upper Devonian-Lower Carboniferous, Permian-Triassic, and Jurassic-Cretaceous. Pre-Upper Devonian promising petroleum complex within the study area are distinguished only in the North Kara Sea Basin, and hydrocarbon systems within it can be similar to hydrocarbon systems in the basins of the ancient platforms.

An overview of possible transformations of logistic schemes for the export of mineral raw materials mined in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation is presented. The existing system of transportation of mineral raw materials by sea, rail, inland water, road and air transport is considered. The description of mineral resource centers forming the cargo base of the Arctic transport system is given; their typification by types of transport for the export of products is given. A change in logistics schemes in connection with access to new markets in the changed geopolitical conditions was considered. The need for changes does not apply to rail, inland water, road and aviation transport, which provide mainly domestic transportation. Major changes affect pipeline and maritime transport. It was concluded that it is necessary to create liquefied natural gas production facilities at the exit points to the coast of the poorly devoured seas of main gas pipelines in order to monetize pipeline gas and expand the throughput capacity of main oil pipelines suitable for port oil loading terminals of the Baltic and Black Seas. The conditions for delivery to Asian oil export markets by sea have deteriorated due to the increase in the duration of circular flights and the cost of tanker freight. In addition, the possibility of an increase in the cargo traffic of the oil export to the Asian market in the Northern Sea Route was questioned due to the lack of a high deadweight cargo fleet and the required Arctic ice classes. The proposal on the need to revise strategic planning documents adopted in other political and economic conditions based on the current realities is justified.

The active development of the Crimean region requires the provision of an independent energy system.Currently, there are 36 hydrocarbon fields in Crimea: 12 with natural gas, 9 with oil, 4 with oil and gas, 2 with oil and gascondensate and 9 gascondensate fields (according to www.mygeomap.ru portal by February 10, 2023). Despite the fact that the vast majority of fields are small and some of them werealready under the development it is necessary to consider their potential and production possibility at least for selling products on the domestic market within Crimea peninsula.In the second half of the last century, extensive exploration work was almost completely stopped because small deposits in the drilled structures have been found. Most of the traps of the Mezocenozoic section are complicated bythe faults.The possibility of discovering unexplored yet hydrocarbon resources especially in the lower stratigraphic complexes can be solved due to modern technologies distribution in the area. The contribution of deeper Permian-Triassic and Jurassic complexesto of modern hydrocarbon accumulations formation is poore evaluated and need to be analyzed in more details. Proper setting of geological exploration tasks and conducting modern regional and local seismic surveys will significantly increase the possibility of discovering new hydrocarbon deposits.

The article discusses the structure and formation conditions of the domanicoid high-carbon formation (VUF) within the central and southeastern parts of the Volga-Ural basin. The presented results of the analysis of the structure, conditions of formation and oil and gas content of domanicoid deposits are a generalization of the accumulated knowledge obtained during the research of the authors in certain regions and areas. The regional geological model of the formation of the domanicoid complex was created based on the results of seismostratigraphic and cyclostratigraphic analyzes. In the structure of the Middle Frasnian – Tournaisian domanicoid deposits, three different areas are distinguished, differing in composition, structure, thickness, and formation conditions –the carbonate platform, the intrashelf depression and its slopes. The revealed cyclicity in the structure of the complex showed that the section consists of 4 large cyclites, the accumulation of which occurred at the stage of changes in the relative sea level. An analysis of the material composition of the deposits made it possible to identify various sedimentation environments and their characteristic strata, which unite lithological units, within each large cyclite. Geochemical and petrophysical studies of the rocks of the domanicoid VUF made it possible to assess the oil and gas potential, identify the intervals containing the largest amount of organic matter, and intervals of reservoir rocks in the context of the studied deposits.
