In our paper we produce new evidence of the tectonosphere and hydrosphere structure of oil and gas sedimentary basins and confirm significant influence of geofluid-dynamic processes on formation of hydrocarbon accumulations in the crust at the great depths. In our opinion the theory based on obsolete views on the tectonosphere structure lessen the importance the sedimentary migration theory of hydrocarbon generation. We prognosticate a particular stagnant type of post-elysionic water-drive systems in the crust at the great depths in conditions of increased hydrodynamic isolation. Absence of regionally sustained vertical and lateral drainage layers characterizes geological environment where stagnant type developed, and, corollary, fluids outflow into external environment is practically unfeasible. The subsalt filling complexes of the epicontinental deepwater basins are included into the post-elysionic water-drive systems. These complexes occur at the great depths and possibility of striking unique and large oil and gas fields there is inherent. We propose a system of fluid-dynamic conditions for preserving hydrocarbon accumulations in the lower crust as a result of developing sedimentary-migration theory for oil and gas formation. We consider the refinement of methods for prospecting and exploration large deposits at the great depths will pave the way for expanded reproduction of hydrocarbon reserves in the “old” oil and gas producing regions in our country.

The study of hydrocarbon reservoirs in the sediments of sedimentary basins indicates a significant increase in the number of non-anticlinal, complex, unconventional, combined traps, which is currently noted during the discovery of large oil and gas fields with high resources. Based on the analysis of literature sources, the article provides a brief overview of the classifications of traps developed both for regional levels and for local operations in specific oil and gas regions. Examples of the development of subtle extended traps in shale carbonaceous formations are considered.

AbstractOnshore exploration success during the first half of the 20th century led to petroleum production from many, relatively small oil and gas accumulations in areas like the East Midlands, North Yorkshire and Midland Valley of Scotland. Despite this, the notion that exploration of the United Kingdom's continental shelf (UKCS) might lead to the country having self-sufficiency in oil and gas production would have been viewed as extremely fanciful as recently as the late 1950s. Yet as we pass into the new century, only thirty-five years on from the drilling of the first offshore well, that is exactly the position Britain finds itself in. By 2001, around three million barrels of oil equivalent were being produced each day from 239 fields. The producing fields have a wide geographical distribution, occur in a number of discrete sedimentary basins and contain a wide spectrum of reservoirs that were originally deposited in diverse sedimentary and stratigraphic units ranging from Devonian to Eocene in age. Although carbonates are represented, the main producing horizons have primarily proved to be siliciclastic in nature and were deposited in environments ranging from aeolian and fluviatile continental red beds, coastal plain, nearshore beach and shelfal settings all the way through to deep-marine, submarine fan sediments. This chapter attempts to place each of the main producing fields into their proper stratigraphic, tectonic and sedimentological context in order to demonstrate how a wide variety of factors have successfully combined to produce each of the prospective petroleum play fairways and hence, make the UKCS such a prolific and important petroleum province.

The development of the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan is largely based on a powerful base of mineral raw materials. The leading role is played by huge reserves of oil and gas. They are located in 6 oil and gas sedimentary basins of Western and Eastern Kazakhstan. More than 350 oil and gas fields have been explored in them, containing over 6.4 billion tons of recoverable oil reserves and about 4.5 trillion m3 of gas. The main volumes of oil reserves (85.2%) are concentrated in 25 large and giant fields. Numerous small objects contain only 5.3% of the reserves. In the changed situation on the world oil market, the development of such small fields with recoverable reserves of less than 1.0 million tons becomes unprofitable. In further work in new promising basins, one should focus on prospecting, first of all, large and medium-sized deposits
