Shale-producing mines In Russia were established in 1916. Later, more than 70% of the shale was used as fuel. On the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan, deposits containing significant organic matter are known in the southern part of the Yuryuzano-Sylvenskaya depression. In 1942, N.G. Chochia and D.V. Nalivkin identified a series of bituminous marls, which was called the Yangantau Formation. A complete section of this stratum was described in the vicinity of the mountain of Yangantau. According to the degree of enrichment of organic matter in the section of the Lower Permian deposits, several packs are allocated to the mountain of Yangantau. The highest content of organic matter is fixed in the upper pack, where Corg varies from 5 to 14%. The foregoing testifies to the prospects of the Yangantau series for hydrocarbons.
