The article deals with the results of a comprehensive study of the geothermal conditions of oil and gas bearing deposits in the western part of Yenisei-Khatanga regional trough. Four types of vertical geothermal zonality are established, the characteristics of which depend on the geological evolution of different parts of the sedimentary basin. The minimal geothermal gradients (1,80–2,2 0 C/100 m) are established there in the near edge zones with a small thickness of the sedimentary cover and the development of the infiltration system. The maximum gradients (3,2–3,4 0 С/100 m) are established in the zones of disjunctive tectonics, which had a significant heating effect on the geological section due to the ascending discharge of groundwater from deep-lying aquifers.
