“…The concept was later more rigorously defined by Magoon and Dow [9]. The term "petroleum system" is now widely used in oil and gas geology [10][11][12], and it is understood as a geological system that includes HC source rocks and genetically related oil and gas, as well as all geological elements and processes that are necessary for the occurrence of HC accumulations. The main elements are the source rock, reservoir rock, seal rock and overburden rocks, the latter contributing to the submergence of the others.…”

At present, the study of the oil and gas potential of poorly explored areas of oil and gas basins in the Russian Federation is of great importance due to the possibility of discovering large hydrocarbon accumulations in them. The Vychegda Trough in the north of the Volga–Ural basin is considered to be one of such areas. The research is devoted to the assessment of the oil and gas potential of the Vychegda Trough based on the concept of “petroleum systems”, which is widely used in oil and gas geology. A comprehensive analysis of geological and geophysical, petrophysical and geochemical data was carried out, and modern technologies for studying the oil and gas potential of sedimentary basins were applied: paleotectonic, paleogeographic reconstructions and basin modeling. The results of the research allowed us to determine a sufficiently high potential for the discovery of hydrocarbon accumulations and to identify three potential petroleum systems in the basin section: Riphean, Vendian and Devonian–Permian.
