South Caspian oil-gas bearing basin is the richest Caspian region for oil and gas production. The great majority of produced fields are located here. Therefore, coastal states consider it the prospective region. Briefly, the paper describes the geographic and tectonic location of South Caspian, as well as the structural-morphological features of Mezo-Cenozoic sediment layers. It is emphasized that ultra-deep South Caspian depression is the major oil-gas forming bolson, both in the paleo-geological evolution process and nowadays. However, there is no single opinion on its role in the formation of oil and gas deposits among the scientists and researchers. Based on the comparative analysis of specialists’ opinion and developed tectonic geographic demarcation maps, deep sections and models as well, it is supposed that coastal, particularly western “land-sea” transition zones may be quite oil-gas forming medium. For greater certainty, the authors offer conducting high-accuracy geophysical surveys.

The paper reviews the formation prospects of two up-to-date forms of economic cooperation in the sphere of oil and gas production – outsourcing and clustering, as well as the schematic presentation of their implementation. The outsourcing means the execution of the functions on the systematic professional support of working efficiency of the business customer by the operation company under the permanent contract. The outsourcing allows the oil-gas producing company increasing its capitalization and profit amount. Therefore, the oil company can fix innovative, scientific and technological resources in its hands providing maximum meeting of business customers’ demands. The development of oil service cluster, in its turn, aims to provide the interaction of all corporate parties. The establishment of cluster unions in oil-gas field with the participation of petroleum service companies under the principles mentioned in the paper will contribute to the development of both oil-gas complex in a whole and petroleum service market.

AbstractMethane, a potent greenhouse gas, is the main component of natural gas. Previous research has identified considerable methane emissions associated with oil and gas production, but estimates of emission trends have been inconsistent, in part due to limited in-situ methane observations spanning multiple years in oil/gas production regions. Here we present a unique analysis of one of the longest-running datasets of in-situ methane observations from an oil/gas production region in Utah’s Uinta Basin. The observations indicate Uinta methane emissions approximately halved between 2015 and 2020, along with declining gas production. As a percentage of gas production, however, emissions remained steady over the same years, at ~ 6–8%, among the highest in the U.S. Addressing methane leaks and recovering more of the economically valuable natural gas is critical, as the U.S. seeks to address climate change through aggressive greenhouse emission reductions.

Gas Bearing

Via geological-geophysical surveys carried out on the north-east border of Yevlakh-Aghjabedy downfold in the second half of the last century, the oil-gas bearing content of deeply-immersed Mesozoic horizons of Upper Cretaceous, as well as shallow layers of Paleogene and Miocene has been defined. Oil-gas bearing Productive Series have been discovered within Muradkhanly, Zardab, Shykhbaghy and Jafarli structures, which belong to Zardab-Muradkhanly-Jafarli belt. Oil-gas reservoirs are lithologically associated mainly with fractured superfusive and carbonate rocks of Upper Cretaceous, as well as sedimentary-volcanogenic rocks of Middle Eocene and partially terrigenic collectors of Maikop-Chokrak, which are layer-arch type of trap. Some researchers came to the conclusion that within favorable geological circumstances on the north-east border of the downfold, collectors of Mesozoic sediments may contain industrial oil and gas deposits as well. To that end, recently the major capacity of exploration drilling and geoexploration was focused within Yevlakh-Aghjabedy downfold, where Mesozoic structures are widespread alongside with Paleogen-Miocene sediments. Deep structural-tectonic framework and oil-gas bearing content both on south-west and north-east slopes of the downfold was specified via the results of conducted works. It was defined that by hydrocarbon saturation, north-west and south-east slopes sharply differ from each other both in the view of structural-tectonic and oil-gas bearing capacity, probably associated with various cycles of folding of Cenozoic and Mesozoic ages.
