【 摘 要 】

The article offers a brief overview of geochemical methods for petroleum prospecting and testing results of the exploration method based on hydrocarbon gas content in soil. For interpretation of the materials a new criterion developed by the authors was used - the naphtide coefficient. As a result of the testing high efficiency of the method is confirmed and it lead to localizing prospects within the Ukhta-Izhma region. Use of this method can contribute to the expansion of the hydrocarbon resource base in the region and demonstrate petroleum potential of unconventional structures of the Timan ridge. Analog to this, structures of the Rocky Mountains thrust belt and other oil and gas-bearing regions in the world, might demonstrate unexpectedly high hydrocarbon potential.
