Abstract The technology of passive adsorption of hydrocarbons in soil-ground gases (more than 80 hydrocarbon compounds from ethane C 2 to C 20 phytane) with the use of special sorbent modules is a new and very effective method for oil and gas fields’ exploration. This technique being relatively inexpensive and easy to use for fieldwork is applied in almost all oil and gas regions of the world. In recent decades it has also been effectively used in Russia (Volga-Ural, Timan-Pechora, West Siberian and other oil and gas basins). The article presents the outcomes of geochemical explorations at the Shuginsky site of the Yarudeyskaya license area of the Nadym district in Western Siberia.
