Ever since the early discoveries at Cabawin (1960) and Moonie (1961), the origin of oil and gas in the Surat/Bowen Basin has been a subject of speculation. Hydrocarbons have been found in reservoirs ranging in age from Permian to Early Jurassic; even fractured pre-Permian 'basement' rocks have occasionally recorded shows.Recent geochemical studies have identified rich source rocks within the Jurassic, Triassic and Permian sequences. The Middle Jurassic Walloon Coal Measures are thermally immature throughout the Surat Basin and are unlikely to have generated significant amounts of hydrocarbons. Lower Jurassic Evergreen Formation source rocks have reached 'nominal early maturity' (VR = 0.6) in parts of the basin. The Middle Triassic Moolayember Formation lies within the oil generation zone in the northern Taroom Trough. However, no oil has yet been confidently correlated with either a Jurassic or a Triassic source. On geochemical and geological grounds it is likely that most, if not all, of the hydrocarbons discovered to date were generated from Permian source rocks.The probability of finding gas as well as oil in Permian, Triassic or Jurassic reservoirs increases from south to north, in accord with organic maturity trends in the Permian of the Taroom Trough. On the narrow thrust-bounded eastern flank, vertical migration has occurred, resulting in oilfields at Moonie and Bennett. In contrast, extensive lateral migration of hydrocarbons across the gentle western flank of the basin is indicated by numerous small oil and gas fields on the Roma Shelf and Wunger Ridge.

In the southeast of Western Siberia, the most studied are the Upper Jurassic deposits, most of the oil and gas fields being confined to them. However, the probability of discovering new hydrocarbon deposits in the Upper Jurassic horizons is extremely small. Therefore, of great importance is finding new hydrocarbon deposits in less studied deep-lying complexes. The article considers the development of a criterion for determining the saturation type of the terrigenous reservoirs in the Hettangian-Aalenian deposits in the southeast of the West Siberian sedimentary basin. We use the example of the Ust-Tym megadepression, a large depression located in the central part of the Tomsk region. The Lower and Middle Jurassic sections are represented by the Urman and Togur formations, Salat formation (Peshkov formation is its isochronous analogue) and Tyumen formation, and characterized by the alternation of predominantly sandy (potential reservoirs) and argillaceous-carbonaceous (seals) sequences. In the studied interval, tests were carried out in just a few wells, for which reason the identification of deposits and promising objects is complicated. Determining the type of reservoir saturation will significantly improve the assessment of oil and gas potential. As a result of interpreting lateral logging sounding data, the geoelectric parameters of the invasion zone and undisturbed formation were reconstructed for the Lower Jurassic and Aalenian deposits. Based on the well logging data interpretation by means of numerical inversion, we obtained the criterion for the saturation type of the reservoirs (Ju11-17) in the Hettangian-Aalenian complex. The boundary resistivity values for the oil-saturated reservoirs vary from 8 to 20 ohm∙m, while for the water-saturated ones they do not exceed 5 ohm∙m.
