The article shows the results of geochemical studies of oil and gas source of the Cenozoic age of the western Ciscaucasia. The geochemical characteristics of the organic matter of the Kumsky rocks show a high oil source potential. Qualitative and quantitative changes reflect not only the new formation of hydrocarbons, but also their emigration. A comprehensive study of the organic matter of Khadum rocks using the methods of bituminology, pyrolysis, and chromatography showed that all types of kerogen are developed in them, but organic matter dominates with moderate source potential. The maximum concentrations of TOC and genetic potential are noted within the West Kuban downwarp, as well as in the outcrops in the area of ​​the Adygei protrusion. The improvement of geochemical parameters in these areas is explained by a decrease in the same direction of the terrigenous component in the original organic matter.
