The paper considers petroleum potential of an area with very low geological and geophysical exploration maturity. Based on integration of seismogeological data, promising intervals were identified, with outlining of a major oil and gas accumulation zone. This zone consists of a complex of structural traps of various types. Inferred resources of its western part were appraised. Based on this appraisal, the area under study was designated as a territory with a sufficiently high hydrocarbon potential.

Key words: West Siberia, Poluyskaya zone, structural traps, inferred resources, oil and gas bearing potential.
