The geological section of Bolshoi Ilek (up to 83 m high), southeast of Western Siberia, represented by Cretaceous and Quaternary systems has been reassessed. Its major part is composed with the Lower Cretaceous deposits of deltic genesis that reached 80 m thickness and characterized the Ilek Formation stratotype. During the screen washing of sand fraction the remains of fishes, lizards, turtles, crocodiloformes, dinosaurs, and mammals, typical for the Barremian - Lower Albian, have been revealed. Mesozoic strata are covered by eolian-deluvial and eluvial Quaternary deposits from 3 to 13,5 m. Three layers with mammoth fauna remains were distinguished there. The middle one is dated by 14С as ~ 22500 years ago. The observation have revealed that Bolshoi Ilek is a large landslide more than 1 square kilometre area. All of it allowed to compare it with the coeval section of Shestakovo outcrop that also exposes the part of giant landslide, caused by earthquakes more than 9 points by Richter scale, which indicates a powerful seismic event, occurred in the southeast of region at the very end of Pleistocene.

The deposits of the Bazhenov formation are a unique reservoir of unconventional oil reserves in Western Siberia. They contain both solid organic matter (kerogen) and liquid light oil. The successful development of these hydrocarbons is largely determined by the adequacy of the void space models. The aim of the study is to identify the types of void space in the sediments of the Bazhenov formation and to identify the distribution patterns across the section of the researched wells. The void space was studied by electron and optical microscopy, and the mineral composition of the rocks was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The deposits of the Bazhenov productive formation in the territory of Western Siberia are represented by a wide complex of lithotypes, including various kinds of silicites, carbonate, clay rocks, and mixtites. The reservoir space in the reservoir rocks of the Bazhenov formation is a complex and hierarchically subordinated system, which includes voids and fractures of various sizes, configurations, and genesis. The void space of the Bazhenov formation is characterized by a fairly high degree of spatial heterogeneity, which is controlled by lithological, facies, and tectonic factors, as well as the direction of catagenetic processes.
