Case Study of the Palynological Research in Petroleum Geology

The authors present the directions for palynological research: detailed (zonal) palynostratigraphy for clarifying the age and correlation of reservoirs; palynological facial analysis for reconstruct the position of the ancient coastline; determination of the degree of catagenesis of organic matter using the palynomorphs color index for assessing the oil and gas generation potential of terrigenous sediments of the Perm region.
