Abstract

The results of generalized regional studies of the West Siberian geosyneclise are presented. The structural maps for the bottom of the plate complex and top of the Jurassic and Cenomanian complexes were compiled at the modern informative and technological level. The refined classification of the tectonic elements allowed comilation of tectonic maps for these levels, in which the tectonic elements and faults differentiated by the time of their formation and depth of occurrence are shown.
The structural and tectonic maps for the top of the Jurassic structural stage are presented and briefly.
Analysis of the structural and tectonic maps, isopach maps, and seismic profiles enabled description of the tectonic history of the West Siberian geosyneclise during the Cretaceous and Cenozoic in relation to its petroleum potential.
