Samples of Triassic sediments were collected from cores of parametric boreholes drilled on the Admiralteiskii Rise, Franz Josef Land Archipelago, and Fersman structure in the northeastern part of the Barents Sea sedimentary basin. The composition and distribution of hydrocarbon biomarkers (n-alkanes, isoprenoids, cyclic alkanes, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons) were studied using the GC-MS method and provided information about the genesis, facies conditions of sedimentation, and catagenetic maturity stage of dispersed organic matter (DOM). The Late Mesozoic-Cenozoic uplifting of the region and active magmatic processes significantly influenced the thermal transformation of sediments. The revealed trend is best observed in the sediment section of the Franz Josef Land Archipelago, where the thermal effects led to a radical increase in DOM transformation, up to the AC1 stage.
