—The paper presents results of regional paleogeographic reconstructions of the West Siberian sedimentary basin in the Late Bajocian–Bathonian. Regional paleogeographic maps of the Yu4, Yu3 and upper part of the Yu2 reservoir units were constructed and described for the first time ever. The implemented approach provided insights into the evolution of paleolandscapes and highlighted the deposition features of the Upper Tyumen Subformation and Malyshev Formation in the different parts of the West Siberian basin. The compilation of paleogeographic maps was based on the electrofacies analysis performed for individual parts of the Malyshev stratigraphic horizon, with regard to the core description materials, paleontological, sedimentological, geochemical data and other. The paleogeographic control of the reservoir’s formation in the Bathonian regional reservoir is discussed.
