Abstract
The Bazhenov Formation of Western Siberia is one of the most important and promising high-carbon formations. Its peculiarity is a huge area of distribution and high generation potential of its constituent deposits. Another feature of the formation is the predominance of silicides in its composition, among which the most interesting are radiolarites, which are often associated with hydrocarbon inflows. However, the mechanism of the forecast and the nature of their distribution still do not have an unambiguous solution. Based on a study of the composition and textural features of the structure of radiolarite layers in the clayey-siliceous rocks of the Bazhenov formation, a model of their formation based on the interaction of plankton (radiolarians) and currents is proposed.
