Relevance of the work. Comprehensive studies of the geology of the Arctic part of Western Siberia are very important for the search for oil and gas in this vast but understudied territory. At present, unfortunately, we know little about the geological structure of the Arctic in the region of Western Siberia, where the sedimentary cover is mainly investigated (the thickness of which is about 3–4 km) and only a few wells are drilled to the foundation. Therefore, a comprehensive study of core samples from this little-studied territory seems extremely relevant. The purpose of the work is a detailed description of the mineralogy and petro-geochemical features of garnetquartz-chlorite-muscovite schists from the well Verkhnerechenskaya no. 2 from the foundation Arctic part of the West Siberian megasbasin. Scope of application of work. This work can be useful in constructing geological maps of the pre-Jurassic foundation of the Yamal Peninsula. Results of work and conclusions. Mineralogy has been studied in detail and the trace element composition of garnetquartz-chlorite-muscovite schists is obtained. The mineral composition of the rocks is as follows: almandine, muscovite, quartz, chamosite, calcite, albite, rutile, titanite, fluorapatite, zircon, xenotime-(Y) and pyrite. The progressive zonality in the almandine is determined, which is confirmed by the calculated data of metapelite formation temperature, progressive metamorphism. Distribution of rare, scattered and REE in the studied rocks is characteristic of metamorphic schists from the foundation of the Urals part of the West Siberian megasbasin, which compel the framing of monzodiorite-granite massifs of Shaimsko-Kuznetsov meganticlinorium of Western Siberia. Probably, the metapelites studied are the result of warming up the thickness of sedimentary rocks with granite intrusion located in the vicinity of Verkhnerechenskaya area. Later, the rocks underwent propylitization with the formation of secondary carbonate and pyrite.
