Abstract

The composition of biomarker hydrocarbons in crude oil samples from Middle Devonian deposits of the Western Tebuk, Dzh”er, and Michayu oil fields of the Omra–Lyzha saddle in the Timan–Pechora oil-and-gas province was studied. Significant effect of the Upper Devonian Domanik source rocks on the formation of the composition of these crude oils was revealed. The main parameters demonstrating the genetic relationship of the oils from Middle Devonian reservoirs with this source rocks are distribution of steranes С27 : С28 : С29, ratio of isoprenoid to normal alkanes, and distribution of normal alkanes. All these characteristics sharply distinguish the crude oils under consideration from paraffinous oils syngenetic to Middle Devonian deposits, characteristic of deposits in the southern part of the Pechora–Kozhva megarampart.
