Geologicheskii Vestnik

Along with the data concerning the development of bituminous deposits of the Yangantau Formation of the Artinskian stage of the Permian system, which is considered to be oil and gas-producing, materials and considerations on the dominant structural and tectonic factor in the genesis of the “Yangantau phenomenon” are given. The discovery of a natural energy source based on the structural geology of the area, as well as the presence of the olistostrome at the base of Yangantau Mountain, which is an indicator of high tangential compression stresses, permitted to suggest a new geodynamic model of the genesis of the Yangantau mountain thermal anomalies.
