Research subject. Sections of the Upper Vendian-Lower Cambrian, opened at the beginning of the XXI century by wells Avloga-12R, Utkina Zavod - 1 and Thais-2 with a depth of 150-370 m, in the north and in the central part of the Leningrad region. Methods. The analysis of the structural and textural features of the rocks of the contact layers, the distribution of allotigenic (quartz, feldspar) and autigenic (pyrite, siderite, glauconite) minerals in them allowed us to supplement the characteristics of the Old Russian, Vasileostrovsky and Siverskaya formations previously isolated in these wells. The use of the structural-genetic method made it possible to clarify the volumes and boundaries of the formations, to prove the absence in the section of the Lomonosov formation, previously isolated in the well Thais-2. Results. Based on the reconstruction of sedimentation conditions and settings, the development of sedimentation processes over time, three transgressive-regressive sequences of layers - cyclothemes were established in sections. The first corresponds to the Old Russian, the second - Vasileostrovskaya, and the third - Siverskaya formation. It is shown that in the studied part of the paleobasin at the end of the Vendian-the beginning of the Cambrian, there were open shelf environments (an area of mobile shallow water with underwater shafts (zone Y), an area of relative deep water with background and storm sedimentation (zone X) and a transitional zone of patchwork sands between X and Y with a variable hydrodynamic regime. The maxima of transgressions corresponding to the development of the deepest water environments occurred in the middle of the Old Russian, Vasileostrovsky and Siversky time, and the maxima of regressions marked by shallow water deposits belong to the end of these time intervals. According to isochronous levels - maxima of transgressions and regressions, correlation of well sections was performed.
