Description
Summary:The article is devoted to the problem of petroleum potential of the Southern part of Verkhnepechorskaya basin of the Ural Foredeep. Because of inaccessibility, this territory remained unexplored until now with not identified prospects of oil and gas potential. Currently, the basin modeling is widely used to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential of poorly studied areas. The module 1D PetroMod software was implemented for basin modeling using data of parametric borehole Volimskaya-1 drilled in the southern part of Verkhnepechorskaya depression. The modeling results showed that the Upper Devonian – Lower Carboniferous productive strata reached the main zone of oil generation between Lower and Middle Permian and were capable for generating oil.
