pdf  Molecular geochemistry of organic matter and petroleum generation potential of the Upper Paleozoic rocks belonging to the Pre-Taimyr uplift zone
Studies of organic matter from the Upper Paleozoic sequences were carried out for the first time using complex of modern organic geochemistry (GC-MS) methods. Samples were obtained from outcrop in the junction zone with the Siberian Basin folded Taimyr. Bituminological analysis and distribution of hydrocarbon biomarkers allowed determining the composition, conditions of formation and the level of thermal maturity of organic mater. The impact of dynamocatagenesis on the activation of primary migration led to the appearance of epigenic hydrocarbons in the Permian sections. The source of which may be either the underlying rocks of the Lower Carboniferous other the adjacent Jurassic rocks of hydrocarbons the Mesozoic-Cenozoic megacomplex. The source rocks quality determined in samples collected only from outcrops is moderate but that does not exclude petroleum prospects in this areas as a whole.

Keywords: organic matter, Upper Paleozoic deposits, hydrocarbons biomarkers, petroleum potential, Pre-Taimyr uplift zone.

pdf  Hydrocarbons in bottom sediments of the Shtokman area – distribution, genesis, temporal trends
The study of the composition, distribution and genesis of hydrocarbons in the components of the geological environment of water areas allows solving tasks of the forecast of oil and gas potential of mineral resources and at the same time provides a basis for future environmental monitoring in exploration and mining operations. The major geochemical parameters of dispersed organic matter are identified on the basis of long-term study of Late Quaternary sediments of the South-Barents depression. Studies have shown that the organic-geochemical background of Holocene Quaternary sediments of the Shtokmanarea formed due to the sedimentation flux of sedimentary material and possible endogenous influence, which determines the specificity of the local anomaly content and composition of dispersed organic matter. This results in high content of aromatic hydrocarbons and polyarenes and organic carbon, but in the absence of its correlation with particle size of bottom sediments. The composition of the hydrocarbon molecular markers indicates the enriched upper part of the sedimentary section by components of thermal mature dispersed organic matter that can be caused by emissions from point discharge of gas fluid of sedimentary rocks of the lower stratigraphic horizons and/or seeping migration.

Keywords: bottom sediments, hydrocarbons, biomarkers, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, Barents Sea, Shtokman area.

pdf  Features of the organic matter transformation processes in bottom sediments of the deep-ocean hydrothermal zones (Mid-Atlantic ridge)
The comparative study of the dissolved organic matter composition and distribution in the surface bottom sediments of the Semenov hydrothermal field (Mid-Atlantic ridge) has been carried out. The samples were collected during the cruise of the research vessel “Professor Logachev” in 2009. The study of the long-term transformation of the organic matter of hydrothermal bottom sediments in oxidizing conditions under heightened temperatures allows to assume that the increasing content of hydrocarbons for this region is caused by biosynthesis and further thermocatalitic transformation of the biogenic matter. The influence of the abiogenic processes hasn’t been detected. The analysis of the group composition of the organic matter allows to conclude, that the main transformation processes of the organic matter are on the fraction level and are accompanied with decreasing of oil and increasing of more condensed resinous-asphaltenic components.

Key words: dispersed organic matter, bottom sediments, hydrocarbons genesis, biomarkers, hydrothermal field, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, Mid-Atlantic ridge.

pdf  Organic matter in the modern bottom sediments of the Semenov hydrothermal field (Mid-Atlantic ridge)
Study of the composition and distribution of the dispersed organic matter in the surface bottom sediments of the Semenov hydrothermal field (13°N, Mid-Atlantic ridge) allowed us to identify the main patterns of modern processes of its transformation. The high content of oils in the group composition of the organic matter was found to be an objective indicator for the modern or relict hydrothermal activity of the region. The distribution of molecular markers (isoprenoids, n-alkanes, cyclanes and polyaromatic hydrocarbons) testify to the main controlling factors affecting the composition and transformation level of the organic matter, such as biological diversity and specific abiotic environmental conditions of the hydrothermal field.
Key words: dispersed organic matter, bottom sediments, hydrocarbons, biomarkers, hydrothermal field, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, Mid-Atlantic ridge.

pdf  Application of confocal fluorescence microscopy in the examination of oil-and-gas bearing sedimentary rocks
For the first time the using of confocal fluorescent microscopy was undertaken for the study of sedimentary rocks from oil-and-gas bearing sequences. The first experience has shown that this device can be successfully used for the identification of bituminous components’ distribution in rocks, and for making their quality and quantitative estimation. The results showed wide opportunities for this method to be used in lithological research and petroleum exploration.
Key words: confocal fluorescent microscopy, sedimentary rocks, petroleum bearing rocks, bituminous components.
