“…In 1986, in the work of Neruchev (Maksimova, 1970), all high-carbon oil and gas source formations common in Russia were considered and were combined under the general term "Domanik-type deposits", containing sapropel-type OM. At the head of the school, which studied "Domanik-type deposits", the conditions for the formation of hydrocarbon systems within the sedimentary basins of Western Siberia, the Volga-Urals, and the Timan-Pechora were investigated (Kontorovich et al, 1967;Vassoevich, 1968;Kontorovich et al, 1975;Gurari, 1980;Rogozina, 1983;Bazhenova, 1994;Kontorovich et al, 1997;Bazhenova and Dakhnova, 2014).…”
