Abstract

Remote hydrocarbon studies were conducted in the western part of the Orenburg region in order to identify lithological and stratigraphic traps. The main research method was CRS technology (complex remote sensing) to find hydrocarbon deposits. On the surface of the study area, were identified both spectral anomalies associated with the known anticlinal, structural, reef and lithological deposits of known deposits, and ribbon-like deposits, which were recognised as Upper Devonian paleorusses, represented by terrigenous deposits. When comparing the spectral hydrocarbon anomalies detected in different ranges, it was possible to discover them over known deposits. The promise of a number of structures previously identified during seismic work was confirmed, which indicates the presence of hydrocarbons in them. In addition, in the north of the study area in the basins of the modern Mokhovaya and Adamovka rivers, ribbon-like anomalies were observed. It is possible that these lithologically shielded deposits may represent a new type of deposits in the area.
