Conclusions The organic matter of the source rocks can be attributed to the oilprone sapropel type, related to the sediments of the marine origin. Kerogen maturity varies from immature in the northeastern part of the Baltic Syneclise to the mature, peak oil window and post mature towards the Teisseyre Tornquist zone. A crude oil density, viscosity, asphaltene and resin content decreases with depth. Gas chromatograms of the alkanes are unmodal, dominated by C13 C19 homologs (with a peak maxima at C15), and decreases considerably in the range where the number of hydrocarbon atoms exceeds C20. Oils of the Baltic Syneclise are characterised by a very low concentration of sterane and triterpane biomarkers. The oil generation in the Baltic Syneclise started at the end of the Silurian, the major oil generation phase is thought to occur during the Devonian and Permian times. The oilfields formed during a long geological time and were recurrently recharged by the new oil from the Ordovician and Silurian source rock complexes.
