At present time several dozen hydrocarbon fields are known in the Vendian-Cambrian complex of the Lena-Tunguska basin, which clearly does not exhaust its potential. The significant stratigraphic interval of the complex, its thickness (up to 3000 m), favorable properties laid down in sedimentogenesis, namely the presence of source, reservoir and seal deposits, allow us to hope for the discovery of new oil and gas deposits. Sedimentological studies of the Vendian-Cambrian complex, carried out using a network of key lithological sections and outcrops, made it possible to create a series of schematic maps of sedimentation environments on a scale of 1:5000000 for six time intervals (Nepa, Tira, Danilovo, Tommotian-Early Atdabanian, Botomian-Amgaian and Late Cambrian). The evolution of sedimentation of the Vendian-Cambrian complex is considered, as well as an assessment of its oil and gas properties, which are primarily associated with various sedimentation environments.
