Lack of clarity with oil and gas potential of Mezen Basin is caused by several reasons, - a relatively small sedimentary cover, with exception of ancient rift zones, composed mainly of Riphean sediments; - large-scale stratigraphic unconformity from Vendian-Early Cambrian to Late Devonian, which separated base of oil and gas system and possible res...

To the extent of a mantle of Predsettledanbanskaya margine of the Siberian platform contains generating hydrocarbons, oil and gas parents groups, rock masses which have reservoir features, and rock masses acting as regional cap rocks. There are direct indicators of oil and gas content as oily spots and bitums in the core. Predsettedanbanskaya margi...

As a basis for tectonic modeling the author adopts the Riphean sedimentary complex. In tectonic structure of Mezen syneclise there are many unclear situations. According to the author, Mezen syneclise is divided in equal parts by Poltyn-Ezhug and Mezen swells. The author gives a detailed description of tectonic elements of the syneclise and departs...

This translation of the Russian (1978) edition constitutes an elaboration and continuation of the 1974 monograph Palaeozoic salt formations of the world (Moscow/Nedra Press). The present work deals with the distribution and number of Palaeozoic evaporite sequences and basins, the stratigraphic position of evaporites and stages of evaporite accumula...
