Characteristics of the lower permian potential oil and gas source stories of the Pre-Ural foredeep on the example of the Divinskaya formation

Current estimates of the potential of the oil and gas source strata of the Pre-Ural foredeep are based on geological models of its structure and oil and gas potential created based on the results of regional and exploration work carried out mainly at the end of the last century, and need to be revised and updated based on new geochemical data and modern technologies. The contribution of the Lower Permian source rock formation and their generation potential have also not been clarified. The purpose of this article is to assess the Lower Permian source rock formation from the point of view of lithology, geochemistry, and to evaluate the possibility of their generation in the Pre-Ural foredeep using the example of the Divinskaya Formation.
