Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the correlation between a complex of Trace Elements (TEs) identified in oils of large fields of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Region (KMAO) of the West Siberian oil and gas basin (OGB), with the composition of the earth’s crust at different levels - upper, lower and middle. Based on the results of the study, additional possible indicators for predicting sources of oil and gas in the deep horizons of the sedimentary cover were identified, which could help increase the predicted resources.

Materials and methods
A quantitative comparison of the contributions of different components of the earth’s crust - lower, middle and upper, as well as biota to the trace elements of oils was carried out based on correlation analysis. For a similar project, the author used analytical materials from many researchers obtained by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) (R.P. Gottikh, B.I. Pisotsky et al., Yu.N. Fedorov, K.S. Ivanov, Yu.V. Erokhin, A.V. Maslov, Yu.L. Ronkin, etc.).
