Abstract
The Famennian intersalt and uppersalt petroliferous deposits in the Pripyat' basin (Byelorussia) formed during the main rifting stage of its evolution. The related lithologically and facially diverse sections, cut by synsedimentary and postsedimentary faults, contain a broad variety of oil and gas traps and pools, including lithologically confined ones. All lithologically confined traps in the Pripyat' paleorift are grouped into zones; eleven zones have been discovered to date, and economic oil pools were found in four of them.
