Formulation of the problem. Currently, interest in the foundation as a gas and oil field facility has increased significantly. The low efficiency of oil and gas exploration in the basement rocks is usually explained by the absence of a generally accepted hypothesis about the genesis of oil and gas and as a result of migration and accumulation of hydrocarbons. One of the main factors of accumulation is the presence of decompression zones of the foundation, as potential hydrocarbon traps. The article is devoted to the problem of identifying oil and gas bearing zones of foundation decompression. Analysis of recent research and publications. A number of scientific articles on the composition, age, structure and oil and gas potential of the foundation are analyzed. The first step in identifying decompression zones is to conduct gravimetric and magnetic surveys and apply various techniques to interpret the resulting mathematical model of the wave field pattern in order to localize the sources of its anomalies. Identification of previously unresolved parts of a common problem. In order to save money when conducting prospecting and exploration for oil and gas, the foundation proposes an improvement in the methodology for separating gas-bearing “vaulted” parts of decompression zones. Formation of the purpose of the article. The aim of the work is to establish a seismic pattern of anomalies in the geophysical fields of the base decompression zones. The object of research is the zone of decompression of the foundation on the northern side of the Dnieper-Donets depression. The subject of the study is a seismic drawing of the anomaly of the geophysical field of the gas-bearing zone of decompression of the foundation of the Rozsoshinsk structure. Report of the main material. The article analyzes a few materials to identify areas of base decompaction in various oil and gas regions. It was found that for localization of decompression zones, the Berezkin “singular points” method and the correlation method of separation of geophysical anomalies are most effective. The essence of these methods is a kind of filtering of field anomalies, where against the background of the "structural" factor, one can distinguish the "non-structural factor", i.e. decompression zone. This zone in wave fields (∆g and ∆Т) is fixed by a seismic pattern, where minima are usually fixed over hydrocarbon accumulations in relation to contouring maxima. Based on the results of the application of these methods, the structure-testing ground of the gas-bearing decompression zone is established. As an illustrative example of the successful localization of ∆g and ∆Т, data are presented on modeling the foundation softening zone in one of the oil and gas regions of the northern side of the Dnieper-Donets depression.

Regarding the South Caspian oil and gas province, it is concluded that the Pliocene productivity prevails in the western part of the province, and that the gas and oil prospects of the eastern land side in the Mesozoic are prioritized. A retrospective analytical review of geological and geophysical data and publications on the Mesozoic of Southwestern Turkmenistan was carried out, which showed the low efficiency of the performed seismic and drilling operations in the exploration and evaluation of very complex Mesozoic objects. A massive resumption of state-of-the-art seismic exploration and appraisal drilling in priority areas and facilities performed by leading Russian companies is proposed. For some areas, a new, increased estimate of the projected gas resources is given. An example of modern high-efficiency additional exploration of the East Cheleken, a small Pliocene gas and oil field, which turned this field into a large one in terms of reserves, is given.

In this article the author carried out sedimentary and genetic modeling of facies parameters within heterogeneous geological bodies based on the analysis of geological and geophysical materials in the Southern Ukrainian oil and gas region. Special attention was paid to clastic facies and parameters demonstrating the degree of heterogeneity and a wide range of facial settings of the sedimentation basin. The data from lithological, geochemical, and geophysical field studies of wells was interpreted to predict hydrocarbon traps. This resulted in the facial diagnostic of the groups of geological bodies of clastic rocks coexisting with sediments of both tectonic and ridge morphological structure of the study area. Such diagnostics allowed us to build a prognostic lithologicfacial (sedimentation) section. Based on the modeling of the Vendian top (Vendian is a stratigraphic unit partially corresponding to Ediacaran) and the Jurassic base, a schematic map of the Paleozoic sediments was constructed for the first time, which made it possible to identify zones of the potential distribution of the former reef structures. The article presents the spatial forecast of hydrocarbon reservoir distribution in geological bodies of oil and gas bearing complexes within the PreDobruja Trough. The data allow forecasting a large number of traps, mainly small ones, formed by clusters of cavernous dolomites, limestones, and mixed rocks confined to certain cyclical elements and, in particular, associated with diastems. Most of such traps are caused by metasomatic dolomitization and paleokarst.

The article presents a brief overview of the views on the stratification of the section of the neocomian deposits. As a basis for geological modeling, instead of formation units, seismic facies complexes were taken, including reservoirs in the coastal shallow-water zone, in a relatively deep-water zone - isochronous clinoform formations of the achimov strata. Within the researched territory, the characteristic of the established oil and gas potential of the complex is presented, on the basis of 3D seismic survey, perspective objects are identified, and their seismogeological characteristics are given.

Oil seepage is one of the most important characteristics of hydrocarbon formation, and understanding oil seepage is crucial for oil-gas exploration and the assessment of petroleum resources. Remote sensing and geochemical methods have the same material and theoretical bases for extracting oil and gas information from underlying strata and the identification of media features. As an emerging exploration method, hyperspectral remote sensing is efficient compared with traditional geochemistry because it is a finer, and sometimes more directly quantitative method for determining the specific mineral anomaly content. Hence, the use of both methods together is important. This paper describes the analysis of hyperspectral remote sensing data and the extraction of abnormal index information, including the level of carbonate alteration and the content of acidolytical hydrocarbons, pyrolysis hydrocarbons, headspace gas, and ferric and ferrous ions. The two methods have mutual authentication, and they are complementary and are useful in oil-bearing areas. When these methods are integrated, the acidolytical hydrocarbon index is the most effective geochemical index and is better at characterizing the oil field distribution than other indices. Also, hydrocarbon geochemical anomalies occurring in oil fields generally show continuous distribution points and are consistent with oil reservoirs. Consequently, a 3D model was established to comprehensively utilize hyperspectral remote sensing and geochemical data to determine the distribution of petroleum reservoirs efficiently as well as to delineate oil- and gas-bearing prospects. There is great potential for determining oil- and gas-bearing fields through the integration of hyperspectral and geochemical data.

In the presented work the features of the geological structure and oil and gas potential of the pre-Jurassic basement rocks are discussed. In the sediments of the oil and gas bearing horizon of zone of contact five types of reservoir rocks are distinguished. The greatest prospects for oil and gas potential are associated with the carbonate depositions of the Middle Paleozoic and effusive of the medium-acidic composition of the Permian-Triassic and Triassic age. From these deposits in the territory of the district the maximum oil inflows were received. 15 promising zones of oil and gas accumulation in the deposits of the oil and gas bearing horizon of zone of contact were distinguished, three of which are poorly studied by drilling and one zone (Predeniseyskaya) is in the Paleozoic oil and gas complex.

In tectonic zoning of large regions, the latter are traditionally made into platform and folded territories, which are estimated, respectively, as potentially oil and gas bearing and unpromising for oil and gas. The expansion of the Siberian platform in the southeast due to the territory of a more complex geological structure requires an analysis of the prerequisites for its possible oil and gas potential both from available materials and from the results of additional regional studies.
