Abstract In the Palaeozoic history of Timan–Pechora sedimentary basin three stages organic structures are identified: Caradocian–Early Emsian, Middle Frasnian–Tournaisian and Late Visean–Early Permian. The distribution dimensions various organogenic buildups in show that reef formation was regulated by skeletal biota, physical chemical parameters controlling porostromate calcimicrobes microbial carbonates, global eustatic fluctuations sea-level, tectonic evolution Pechora Plate Palaeo-Urals Ocean. development petroleum systems Basin is largely controlled primary (organic substance, its composition, quantity maturity, continuous sinking basin's cover) secondary (stagnation period sedimentation newest movements) factors. An integrated approach using geochemical data enabled us to build a reliable model genesis for with high probability evaluating potential composition hydrocarbon systems.
