Reservoir pressures and temperatures are the most important parameters that characterize the energy state of reservoir systems. They determine the amount of hydrocarbons that are contained in the bowels of the earth, as well as the operating modes of the deposits. The values of reservoir pressures and temperatures have a direct impact on the safety of drilling wells. It is known that within the interior of the northern part of Western Siberia there is one of the most harsh thermobaric regimes. The researchers recorded numerous manifestations of abnormally high reservoir pressures and high reservoir temperatures. In this article, the author sets the task of detailing the regularities of changes in reservoir temperatures and pressures in the interior of the study area. The second task is to find the relationship between these parameters and explain its nature. The results of the research should be aimed at improving the safety of exploratory drilling, and can also be used in oil and gas exploration.
