Abstract

The paper describes lithological and geochemical features of the Lower Triassic sandstones from the far north of Timan-Pechora oil and gas-bearing province. These sandstones chemically coincide to typical graywackes.
 We discuss how sedimentation environments and diagenesis control the local heterogeneity of cementation, variability of void space and the potential oil content. 
 Tectonic conditions are one of the provenance factors, the figurative points of the composition of sandstones on the diagrams fall into the field of the passive continental margin. The position of sandstone points on the diagrams and low values of the hydrolyzate module indicate the formation of deposits in an arid climate, which does not contradict to geological data.
