Seismogeological and structural characteristic of the Riphean sediments within Aldan-Maya petroleum region

The key features of the geological structure of the Riphean sedimentary cover within the Aldan-Maya petroleum region are considered. Using seismic and acoustic logging data, the velocity characteristics of the Riphean deposits were studied. It was shown that the main acoustic contrasts are associated with the formation of sustained intra-Riphean reflectors. They correlate with the boundaries of formations and series. Based on the results of generalization and interpretation of seismic data on 9 projects of regional prospecting, seismogeological sections and structural maps were constructed, which served as the basis for structural-tectonic zoning of the territory within the Aldan-Maya petroleum region. Tectonic maps are presented for two structural stages - Upper Karelian-Lower Riphean and Upper-Middle Riphean, their fundamental difference is shown, in particular, the large May inclined swell is developed only in the reliefs of the lower Riphean not in the Middle-Upper Riphean surfaces.
