In western Siberia, hydrocarbon exploration focuses on the sequence of bituminous, essentially clay rocks, from which significant oil flows have been obtained in Salym and some other areas. In this paper, a recently discovered reservoir horizon and hydrocarbon deposit of this type is discussed. In these bituminous deposits, the laminar clays possess the least density and the greatest porosity and permeability. These laminar clays serve as the main reservoir rock, whereas the highly bituminous massive siliceous clays are the source rocks of the petroleum. The areas in Siberia where the favorability for occurrence of this type of geologic sequence are also discussed. (JMT)
