Abstract:

The paper presents information on geological studies on the islands of the Franz Josef Land archipelago (FJL) in the Arctic Ocean as part of comprehensive scientific expedition on board of the Mikhail Somov research ship in August 2022, and the first results of studying natural bitumen occurrences in Mesozoic igneous rocks. During the research on four islands of the archipelago, 77 samples were selected, including 25 samples of presumable bitumen occurrences, as well as 4 coal samples and 5 mudstone ones from potential Triassic and Jurassic oil and gas source strata.
