Leigh Mosley (asker) May 31, 2014:
more context I just have several more sentences of the same type. It must be some kind of geological formation. One sentence also includes the term "мегавал“:
"В тектоническом отношении зона располагается вдоль северного и северо- западного борта Мыльджинского вала, структуры второго порядка, осложняющей Средневасюганской мегавал."
And the term "Middle Vasyugan megaswell" does return 4 (!) Google hits. All trans. from Russian. :) Tossing "megaswell" into Google takes you into the world of surfing.
