Popis:	The Koren'kovo reconnaissance well in the southwestern part of the Kerch' Peninsula penetrated Quaternary and Neogene rocks and bottomed out at 4953 m in Maykopian sediments. The unexpected increase in the thickness of the exposed complexes, in combination with seismic-exploration data, indicates that a complex polygenetic depression formed in front of and on the percilines of the orogens of the Northwestern Caucassus and the High Crimea during Oligocene-Pliocenetime. The depression was filled with molassoid sequences. We regard the southeastern part of the peninsula as a fragment of the northwestern margin of the southern branch of this depression. In the basal strata of the Maykopian Series of the South Kerch' trough, there are basal sand-silt layers with satisfactory reservoir properties. Continued exploration here for hydrocarbon pools in the local uplifts of the Kerch' Peninsula and the adjacent water area of the Black Sea is proposed.
