Palaeozoic oiland gas-bearing region of the Western Siberia
The steady decline in oil production in a number of oil-producing regions of Russia makes geologists and scientists search for new oil- and gas-bearing areas and regions promising for oil and gas exploration. One of these promising areas is the territory of the Salair folding, located in the south-east of the Western Siberia. Yuzhno-Minusinsk, Severo-Minusinsk, Kuznetsk and Teguldets depressions, which are considered as oil and gas regions of the Paleozoic oil and gas region of the Western Siberia are located within its limits. The development of these territories should be based on innovative technologies for oil and gas fields prospecting, among which quantum optical filtration of space images should take the first place. At the moment, the Kuznetsk depression is a priority for setting up oil and gas prospecting activities in this area.
