OSTI ID:5811867

Salym oil field is on the Lempa High of the Salym uplift in the eastern part of the Khanty-Mansiysk depression in the middle Ob region of W. Siberia. Seven oil pools have been found in Salym field. Their stratigraphic range is from Lower Callovian of the Middle Jurassic to Hauteriv-Barremian of the Lower Cretaceous. The main pay is stratum Jo within the Bazhenov formation (Upper Jurassic). Porosity of the Bazhenvo bituminous shales ranges from 2 to 16%; average effective porosity is 8%; permeability is 2.4 md. The Bazhenov formation is one of the few examples of a primary oil-bearing pelite reservoir having a high content of organic matter that was also the source of the oil.
