GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURE AND OIL AND GAS POTENTIAL OF THE KIRENGA AREA

Abstract

The paper summarizes the literature data of geological and geophysical works as well as the results of studying the tectonics, stratigraphy and oil and gas contents in the Kirenga area, Irkutsk region, Russian Federation. The Kirenga area is located in the junction zone of the Nepa-Botuoba anteclise and the Cis-Patom regional trough.
