According to a complex of geological and geophysical characteristics, the section in the depth range of 2766–5010 m was divided into the Churbiga, Paidugina, Pudzhelga, Podelga, Kondes, Shedelga, and Pyzhina Formations, and their first description was made. The Cambrian section in Vostok-1 well is most similar to those of the Kotui-Igarka area of the northwestern Siberian Platform, where Cambrian deposits formed in the pre-reef zone of an open sea basin. In the lower section of the borehole the highly carbonaceous siliceous-argillaceous-carbonate Paidugina Formation was stripped, which is an analog of the Lower-Middle Cambrian Shumnaya and Kuonamka Formations of the Siberian Platform. The Paidugina Formation, which accumulated on the shelf and slope of the open sea facing the Paleo-Asian ocean, is considered oil-producing and suggests the high petroleum potential of the cis-Yenisei basin. Also, a highly promising generation-accumulation petroleum system has been revealed.",

It has been found that the trilobite assemblage from the Bergeroniellus ketemensis Zone (bottom of the Toyonian) is very much the same as that from the underlying Bergeroniaspis ornata Zone (terminal Botomian zone). It has been suggested to combine these zones into one with the index species Bergeroniaspis ornata. The greatest changes in the trilobite assemblages are observed at a higher stratigraphic level, at the bottom of the Lermontovia grandis Zone (second Toyonian zone). This suggests that the lower boundary of the Toyonian should be placed at the bottom of this zone. This new boundary shows substantial changes in the trilobite abundance and diversity and is well-pronounced, not only in the stratotype sections of the Lena River, but also elsewhere in the Siberian Platform (the northeast and northwest of the region, the Anabar area, and others).",

Here we report isolated plates of Microdictyon from the lower Cambrian Xinji Formation (Stage 4, Series 2) of the North China Platform, extending the paleogeographic distribution of Microdictyon in the early Cambrian. The plates of Microdictyon from the Xinji Formation are similar to those of other species established on the basis of isolated plates but do bear some new characters, such as mushroom-shaped nodes with a single inclined platform-like apex and an upper surface that displays radial lines. However, the plates documented here are left under open nomenclature due to inadequate knowledge of intraspecific and ontogenetic variation and low specimen numbers. Through comparison of the node shapes of the isolated plates of different Microdictyon species, we consider that low mushroom-shaped nodes could be a primitive and conservative character of Microdictyon while tall mushroom-shaped nodes may be a derived character. Subtle differences in shape and number of node apices may also represent intraspecific or ontogenetic variation.",

This is a challenge for the researchers of the Siberian Platform, which has recently become a new Russian oil and gas extraction base. For a long time, preceding the mass introduction of trap magma, the platform was subjected to intense deflection compensated by sedimentation with the formation of a large number of hydrocarbon deposits in the lower horizons of the sedimentary cover. The influence degree of widely manifested within the Siberian platform trap magmatism on the ontogenesis of oil and gas deposits has become the goal of the studies, which involve identification of the dependence between the thickness of the Osa production horizon and reservoir intrusions of dolerites, dependence of the phase state of deposits and the temperature gradient in individual fields in the south of the Siberian platform. The study uses the correlation methods for the lithologic and stratigraphic sections of the largest hydrocarbon deposits: Verkhnechonsky, Yaraktinsky, Kovykta, Srednebotuobinsky and others. The information is represented graphically in the diagrams. Having analyzed the data obtained according to the results of deep drilling in the known fields in the south of the Siberian platform, the authors have built linear graphs of the relationship between the thicknesses of the Osa productive horizon, salt-bearing fluid seal of Usolskaya suite and reservoir intrusions of Usolsky sill dolerites. Also the graphs of deposit phase state dependence on the temperature of fluid generation are constructed on the basis of the calculation of the possible formation depth of the field. There is a direct relationship between the thicknesses of fluid seal and reservoir intrusions of dolerites. It means that the horizon is preserved in the case when the fluid seal thickness increases as dolerite reservoir thickness increases. Gas condensate deposits are formed at higher temperatures.",

    abstract = "Abstract —We present the results of study of the influence of trap magmatism on the geochemical composition of brines and on the geothermal regime of the Earth’s interior in the western areas of the Kureika syneclise. The Siberian trap province, which unites all cutting and layered tholeiite–basic magmatic intrusions and erupted basaltic lava, is the world’s largest Phanerozoic continental basalt province. Brines, hydrocarbon deposits, and organic matter of the sedimentary cover were subjected to a significant thermal impact as a result of the Permo-Triassic trap magmatism. During the trap intrusion, the maximum paleotemperatures in major Silurian (D’yavolskii), Ordovician (Baikit), and Cambrian (Deltula–Tanachi, Abakun, and Moktakon) productive horizons reached 650 °C. The Paleozoic and Proterozoic deposits of the study area contain brines with TDS = 50–470 g/dm3. By chemical composition, they are of Na, Na–Ca, Ca–Na, Ca–Mg, and Ca chloride types (according to the classification by S.A. Shchukarev), with mixed Ca–Na and Na–Ca chloride brines dominating. The studied brines can be divided into three groups according to the degree of metamorphism: low (S1), medium (S2), and high (S3). The first group includes mainly sodium chloride brines with TDS = 50–370 g/dm3 (rNa/rCl = 0.60–0.95; S ≤ 100). The second (dominating) group comprises Na–Ca, Ca–Na, Ca, and Ca–Mg chloride brines with TDS = 150–470 g/dm3 (rNa/rCl = 0.10–0.87; 100 ≤ S ≤ 300). The third group is Ca–Na and Ca chloride brines with TDS = 223–381 g/dm3 (rNa/rCl = 0.12–0.45; S ≥ 300). We have first established changes in the hydrogeochemical field (major- and trace-component and gas compositions) with distance from the contacts of intruded dolerite sills and dikes. Hydrocarbons (CH4, C2H6, C3H8, i-C4H10, n-C4H10, i-C5H12, n-C5H12, and C6H14) and water-soluble components I, B, and NH4 were most actively subjected to destruction. For example, at a distance of 100 m from the intrusion zone, the water-dissolved gases are dominated by CO2 (\>90 vol.\%), and CH4 amounts to 5 vol.\%, whereas at a distance of 250 m, the concentration of CO2 decreases to 30 vol.\%, and that of CH4 increases to 60–70 vol.\%. In addition to the negative effect on the hydrocarbon preservation in the contact zone (≤400 m), the intrusive trap magmatism favored the formation of hydrocarbons in remote horizons. The reaction of intruding traps with brines of the sedimentary cover led to the saturation of the latter with iron, aluminum, and silica, which suggests extraction of metals in the form of salts from magmatic melts into an ore-bearing fluid.",

The composition of lithic fragments in these clastic sediments, including mafic and felsic volcanics and granitoids, along with the correlation of major element ratios and the values of trace-element ratios point to predominant igneous (mainly felsic) rocks in the provenance. The U-Pb ages of detrital zircons from the sampled Upper Lena Fm. sandstones are mostly Early Paleozoic (∼500 Ma), with very few Archean-Paleoproterozoic determinations and quite many Neoproterozoic zircons. Ediacaran and Earliest Cambrian clastic sediments bearing Early Precambrian and Neoproterozoic detrital zircons, as well as Neoproterozoic and Early Paleozoic complexes of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, could provide material for the Upper Lena clastic deposition. The geochronological evidence shows that the Upper Lena Fm. sandstones were deposited over vast territories of the southern Siberian craton in the Late Cambrian, in a single sedimentary basin, and originated from the same provenance. The Upper Lena deposition event in the Late Cambrian, immediately before the Ordovician period, makes a key milestone in the geological history of Siberia: the end of a large-scale Early Cambrian transgression and the beginning of gradual uplift of the southern craton margin, at least till the Carboniferous, which was associated with the formation of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, a major tectonic unit of Asia.",

High-resolution temporal and spatial distribution of reef-associated archaeocyath sponge species on the Siberian Craton during the early Cambrian [ca. 528 to 510 million years ago] shows that speciation was driven by increased endemism particularly ca. 521 million years (59.7\% endemic species) and 514.5 million years (65.25\% endemic species) ago. These mark rapid speciation events after dispersal of ancestors from the Aldan-Lena center of origin to other regions. These speciation events coincided with major sea-level lowstands, which we hypothesize were intervals when relative deepening of the shallow redoxcline permitted extensive oxygenation of shallow waters over the entire craton. This provided oxic corridors for dispersal and allowed the formation of new founder communities. Thus, shallow marine oxygen expansion driven by sea-level oscillations provides an evolutionary driver for sucessive speciation events during the Cambrian radiation.",

    abstract = "A geochemical study was carried out on oil and gas samples from the Verkhnechonskoye field, located on the Nepa‐Botuoba Anteclise in the central‐southern part of the Siberian Platform. The goal of the study was to distinguish between fluids derived from the V 10‐13 and B 12 reservoir units in the Vendian (Neoproterozoic) Katanga and Nepa Formations and to identify the producing reservoir using geochemical data. The results of analyses of 12 oil and 13 associated gas samples from the two reservoirs showed that all the fluids have similar geochemical properties including: low Pr/Ph ratios (0.78‐1.00); a predominance of C 29 over C 27 and C 28 steranes; a predominance of odd‐numbered C 21 ‐C 25 n‐alkylbenzenes over their even‐numbered homologues; the presence of 12‐ and 13‐methylalkanes; and a high relative abundance of tricyclic terpanes (cheilantanes). All these properties are consistent with those of the properties of petroleum from other fields on the Siberian Platform. The molecular and stable carbon isotope compositions of the oils and gases suggest that they were derived from marine organic matter with a high algal input deposited under reducing conditions. To date, specific source rocks which generated the oil and gas present at fields on the Nepa‐Botuaoba Anteclise have not conclusively been identified, but potential candidates include the Upper Riphean Iremeken and Ayan Formations and more probably the Vendian Zherbinskaya, Seralakh, Vanavara and Nepa Formations. The second part of the study demonstrates the application to reservoir geochemistry of C 3‐ and C 4‐ alkylbenzene compounds together with more conventional biomarkers. Key parameters were selected using statistical processing and displayed in graphic profiles. These profiles allowed the oil and gas samples to be classified according to the reservoir from which they were derived based on their geochemical properties. Parameters based on C 3‐ and C 4‐ alkylbenzene compounds were most effective in discriminating between oils from the two reservoirs. In addition, a new parameter is proposed based on the contents of 1‐methyl‐3‐isopropylbenzene, 1‐methyl‐2‐isopropylbenzene and 1‐methyl‐2‐propylbenzene; this parameter correlates closely with the pristane/phytane ratio and can be used as an additional indicator of the level of oxicity in the source rock depositional environment.",

The Osinsky horizon of the Lower Cambrian within the Siberian craton has a complex facies structure and is represented by three main types of sections: shallow (arched), reef and depression. When drilling a new exploration and evaluation well at the Salair area (the southern part of the Kamov arch), from the depression-type section of the Osinsky horizon, continuous core sampling was performed, and for the first time for the Baykit High Province, detailed characteristics of potential source rocks were obtained. In the exposed section, the Osinsky horizon has a reduced thickness (12.5 m), and three members are identified in its composition. Weakly porous microbial dolomites with signs of oil saturation were identified in the middle member. The upper member is composed of dark gray and almost black limestones with characteristic signs of condensed anoxic sedimentation (micrite structure, micro-layered texture, absence of remains of benthic organisms, abundance of pyrite framboids, etc.). Numerous spherical remains of calcareous microplankton are found in it. Geochemical methods proved the rocks of the Osinsky horizon depression section are mainly oil-generating. According to the results of geochemical studies, it has been established that the Osinsky petroleum system in the research area is isolated from the underlying Vendian and Riphean deposits. The presented results are highly relevant, as they provide new information about poorly studied depression-type deposits of the Osinsky horizon of the Baykit High Province.",

Total ion current chromatograms of saturated fractions of naphthides of all studied samples (except for thermolysate of oil asphaltenes) are characterised by a clear predominance of n-alkane peaks, iso-alkanes, including isoprenoid ones – in subordinate amounts. In all samples of the studied naphthides a number of alkane and terpane facial-genetic molecular parameters indicate the unity of the type of initial bioproducers and reductive conditions of early diagenesis of source rocks. However, in the composition of some samples the increased content of cholestanes and rearranged steranes was registered which are not typical for ancient naphthides of the studied area. Specific HCs – 25-norhopanes C27-C32(C34), adamantanes C10-C14, dialkyl-substituted alkanes (presumably odd C21-C31) and normal α-olefins C14-C29 (in the thermolysate of oil asphaltenes) – were detected in the composition of the studied samples. The data on molecular parameters were processed by the principal component method, which showed differentiation of naphthides in terms of their confinement to the fields, as well as their type, presumably caused by a more intensive impact of thermal and migration factors in the Yuzhno-Danilovskoye and Danilovskoye fields. In general, according to the set of studies performed, it is assumed that the formation of the modern composition of the studied naphthides is also due to recharge of the deposits with new portions of hydrocarbon gases or methane oils. Additional studies of probable source rocks are planned to identify sources of naphthides generation in the studied area.",

    abstract = "One of the fundamental problems of prospecting, exploration and exploitation of oil and gas fields is the co–occurrence, temporal and spatial relationships of oil and gas-bearing and salt-bearing strata of various scales: from productive oil and gas horizons of individual fields to oil and gas complexes. Almost all productive oil and gas horizons of hydrocarbon fields of the Siberian platform including the widespread Yaraktinsky horizon are subject to intensive salinization processes of various scales and for various reasons. Based on genetic features and the sequence of occurrence salinizations could be classified into primary salinization – syngenetic occurring simultaneously with sedimentation, and secondary one – postgenetic caused by a number of diverse natural and man-made factors. The paper considers the main factors of salinization, which with a certain degree of conventionality can be differentiated as follows: by scale – global (historical and geological) and regional (trap magmatism); by causes – tectonic and magmatic; by occurrence time – primary (syngenetic) and secondary (epigenetic); by nature – natural and man-made (occurring during operation). Downhole equipment is subject to intense man-made salinization in the near-wellbore zone of the productive formation in the interwellbore space, which ultimately complicates drilling processes, leads to accidents, and significantly increases the cost of equipment during operation.",
