The Shaim oil- and gas-bearing district is located in the Khanty-Mansijskiy autonomous region within the Sovetskiy and Kondinskiy districts near the border with the Sverdlovsk region. Two main regional structures, i.e.: 1. Triassic Danilovskiy graben that extends for more than 330 km in width ranging from 45 to 90 km in submeridional direction through the whole region. The graben has tectonic borders with the Paleozoic volcanogenic, sedimentary and metamorphic complexes to the west and east from it. Serpentinite bodies are observed along these faults. 2. Late Paleozoic “granite-schist axis” known as Shaim-Kuznetsovskiy meganticlinorium of the Trans-Urals uplift (its central, axial part) is located to the east of Danilovskiy graben. This structure also extends through the whole Shaim oil- and gas-bearing region (and farther for hundreds km in submeridional direction) in width 30-45 km (Ivanov et al., 2003).

The Uzbek area localizes in central part of the Shaim oil- and gas-bearing region. Previously, pluton of oval-shaped acid rocks 9.5 x 6.5 km in size was revealed in the area. The massif itself lies in tectonic zone that separates the Danilovskiy graben and “granite-schist axis” among rocks of ophiolite association. Its central part is composed by monzodiorites (drilling hole 10352). The rocks have massive, locally taxite texture (spots are formed by segregations of colour ninerals), fine- and middle-grained diorite, sometimes monzonite (poikilitic) structure. Chemical composition of granitoid from depth 1780 m (laboratory of IGG, Urals Branch, analyst N.P.Gorbunova) in mass. %: 54.05 SiO2; 2.64 TiO2; 4.39 Fe2O3; 13.58 Al2O3; 0.50 P2O5; 2.90 MgO; 0.24 MnO; 8.70FeO; 5.71 CaO; 11.21 K2O; 4.17 Na2O; 2.79 LOI; 100.87 in total; f = 0.67. Rock mineral composition comprises 50-70% plagioclase (Ab61-66), 10-15% mica (annite, f = 0.68), 10-15% amphibole (ferroedenite-ferroactinolite, f = 0.61-0.64), 5-8% quartz, microcline, orthopyroxene (ferrosilite, Fs60). Among secondary minerals are chlorite that partially replaces amphibole. The accessory minerals are apatite, zircon and ore minerals (ilmenite and pyrite).

The marginal part of the massif is composed by the massive texture granitoids (drill holes 10381 and 10350). The rock structure is hypidiomorphic-grained, locally diorite; middle- and fine-grained. Chemical composition of granitoid (drill hole 10381, depth 1969 m) in mass.%: 70.17 SiO2; 0.24 TiO2; 1.64 Fe2O3; 13.40 Al2O3; 0.04 P2O5; 0.82 MgO; 0.09 MnO; 1.55FeO;; 0.72 CaO; 3.75 K2O; 4.50 Na2O; 2.00 LOI; 98.90 in total; f = 0.61. By petrochemical parameters (70.17 mass.% SiO2; 8.25 mass.% K2O + Na2O), the rocks belong to subalkaline granites. Mineral composition of rock: 35% quartz, 25% albite-oligoclase, 25% microcline, 10% mica, amphibole 5%. Amphibole and biotite are completely replaced by chlorite and carbonate (siderite with 0.56 to 0.85 f. u. Fe). The accessory minerals are apatite, zircon and pyrite.

Microelement composition of rocks was determined by ICP-MS (IGG, Urals Branch RAS, analyst D.V.Kiseleva). Granitoids from the massif central part(at normalizing to contents in primitive mantle) are characterized by positive anomalies on Ba, Ce, Nd,Sm and negative ones on RbTh, U, Sr, Hf, Zr, Ti. In normalizing to chondrite, rare earths demonstrate predominance of easy lanthanoids over heavy ones and presence of weak Eu anomaly. At the same time, granitoids from the massif marginal part are characterized by positive anomalies on Th, U, La, Ce, Nd Sm and negative ones on Ba, Nb, sr, Hf, Zr,Ti when normalizing to primitive mantle. In normalizing to chondrite, rare earths show domination of light lanthanoids over heavy ones, and presence of clearly observed negative Eu anomaly. A variation of microelements is observed in rocks of the massif marginal and central parts. Rb (to 85 ppm, Zr (to 195 ppm), Ce (to 128 ppm, Th (to 12 ppm) prevail in granites, and Li (to 35 ppm), Sc (to 36 ppm), Ti (to 19393 ppm), V (to 267 ppm),Mn (to 2394 ppm), Co (to 31 ppm), Sr (to 643 ppm) and Ba (to 732 ppm) - in monzodiorites

Thus, acid pluton located in the Uzbek area has zonal structure. The central part of the massif is composed by rocks of middle composition (quartz-containing monzodiorites), and marginal one – by acid rocks (subalkaline bifeldspar granites). By all features (structure, chemical composition and geochemistry), this pluton belongs to granitoids of monzodiorite-granite series that are widely represented within “granite-schist axis” of the Shaim district (Ivanov et al., 2007).

The higher Fe content of the Uzbek massif minerals and rocks compared to granitoids of the “granite-schist axis” is their peculiar feature. Thus, Fe content of rocks (of minerals respectively) that compose the Uzbek massif falls into the interval 0.6-0.7, and that of “granite-schist axis”granitoids – 0.4-0.5.Therefore, we suggest that the Uzbek pluton formed in the deeper conditions, since the rocks belong to magnetite free ferrofacies by mineral Fe contents (Fershtater et al., 1978), whereas granitoids of “granite-schist axis” fall into the magnetite ferrofacies. It is also confirmed by temperatures and pressure calculated by the use of amphibole geothermobarometer (Mishkin, 1990). Thus, the temperature equals 550-600oC and pressure – 7 kbar for ferroedenite from the Uzbek area granitoids that corresponds to depth 20-25 km, and they are 500-550oC and 1-2 kbar for edenite from “granite-schist axis” granitoids.

Therefore, the massif of granitoids in the Uzbek area is deeper than granitoids of “granite-schist axis”. The Uzbek pluton was likely to form not only deeper, but earlier than granitoids of”granite-schist axis”, and was put in the same erosional truncation due to tectonic movements.

The study has been carried out with financial support of RFBR (grant 08-05-00019) and integrational program SO-UrO RAS.
