Abstract

At present, the issue of oil and gas potential in the Kurgan region, the question remains open. Without convincing evidence, some specialists believe that the depths of the Kurgan TransUrals is of little interest for hydrocarbon extraction.

On the other hand, some experts suggest that, although the hydrocarbon deposits in the region are not large, their discovery is possible if the directions for exploration and prospecting work are carefully justified, with special attention to Paleozoic deposits.

The aim of the study is to examine the gas potential of the southern and southeastern parts of the Kurgan region. The method of research is the analytical.

While working, the authors presented data on well testing in the Zverinogolovsky, Lebyazhyevsky, Makushinsky, Vargashinsky, and Petukhovsky districts, as well as developed a generalized map of gas manifestations in the study area. Practical importance of the study is in identifying and specifying areas where hydrocarbon exploration and geological surveys should be prioritized.
