N2 - The Olenek–Anabar Composite Tectono-Sedimentary Element (OLA CTSE) is located in the northern part of the Siberian Craton. Its structure and depositional history is controlled by two main tectonic events: (i) Mesoproterozoic rifting and (ii) Ediacaran–Cambrian (to Middle Devonian?) post-rift thermal subsidence. The sedimentary succession is mainly represented by Mesoproterozoic–Cambrian strata, including the black shales of the lower–middle Kuonamka Formation. The hydrocarbon potential of the OLA CTSE is defined by the presence of large superficial bitumen fields, anticlinal structures, large reefal build-ups and direct proximity to the potential source rock (Kuonamka Formation). A very scarce grid of seismic profiles and a lack of exploration wells limit the knowledge of the petroleum potential. The lack of seals and broad occurrences of faults, causing significant vertical permeability of sediment cover, and abundant occurrences of mafic and kimberlite magmatism are limiting factors with regard to the petroleum potential. Wells drilled during the Soviet era did not recover any commercial discoveries. © 2024 The Author(s). Published by The Geological Society of London. All rights reserved.
