Oil and Gas Reservoirs in the Lower Triassic Deposits in the Arctic Regions of the Timan-Pechora Province

The Lower Triassic sediments of the Timan-Pechora oil and gas bearing province were studied by the complex of lithological, petrophysical and geochemical methods. It is established that productive deposits are represented by various-grained sandstones that formed in arid climates in the vast alluvial-lacustrine plain. The research allowed to study and characterize the structure features of rock and mineral aggregates, forming a pore space. The high heterogeneity of the composition and structure of the cement minerals of the reservoir caused by local facies-paleogeographic sedimentation conditions, were the cause of the significant variability of the pore space. Rocks reservoirs are complex, with high content of clay component, an effective development of which requires special methods of stimulation.
