Abstract
The composition and structural features of the resin-asphaltene macromolecular fragments inherent in the substances from the Usinsk oilfield were investigated. It has been demonstrated that they contain ether and/or ester groups. Nitrogenous bases in the form of supramolecular structures are present only in the structure of the resinous components.
