On the Kara Sea shelf, there are two sedimentary basins separated by the North-Siberian sill. Tectonically the southern part of the Kara Sea covers the South Kara regional depression, which is the northern end of the West Siberian geosyncline. This part of the water area is identified as part of the South Kara oil and gas region, within which the Aptian-Albian-Senomanian sedimentary complex is of greatest interest in terms of gas content, in terms of liquid hydrocarbons - Neocomian and Jurassic deposits. The northern part of the Kara Sea is an independent North Kara province, for the most part of which the prospects of petroleum potential are associated with Paleozoic sedimentary complexes. Oil and gas perspective objects of this basin may be associated with anticlinal, non-structural traps and reef structures.

The article reviews the results of the next re-interpretation of geological and geophysical material of Airakty gas condensate field located in Zhambyl region of Kazakhstan. Despite rather good prospects of oil and gas bearing of the region, quite a long period of geological and exploratory research, and discovered and developed fields, the study is extremely low, and the efficiency of geological and exploratory works here remains low. Therefore, the resource base for gas production remains insufficient to supply the region. Therefore, an attempt was made to examine the structure and oil and gas content of one field in this region from the point of view of non-anticlinal traps (NAT). This provides a new insight into the internal structure of the field and allows to clarify its geological structure and adjust the prospecting methodology in the direction of NAT deposits. The applied technology of re-interpretation of geological and geophysical material by approbation of neural training algorithms on the basis of new well data, synchronous prestack inversion (which is currently actively used in the exploration industry as part of the standard interpretation graph) allowed to take a new look at the peculiarities of the internal structure of rocks composing the productive part of the section, to highlight, in particular, isometric "bodies", which have been interpreted as incised river systems, e.g., isometric "bodies"

В данной статье даны особенности геологического строения района газопроявления «Цущар» в Кулинском районе на отложениях среднеюрского возраста, предлагается геолого-структурная схема возможного формирования залежи нефти и газа. Незначительные проявления газоносности, связанные обычно с минеральными источниками и подчиненные мощной толще юрских сланцев, развитых на значительных площадях нагорного Дагестана, начали обращать на себя внимание с 1931 г., в связи с поисками месторождений легких редких газов. Анализы газов показывают повышенное содержание легких редких газов в целом ряде месторождений нагорного Дагестана. Кроме группы месторождений Южного Дагестана известен пока только один выход горючего газа в Центральном Дагестане – Кулинском районе. На него указывает в своем рукописном отчете Дагестанскому Совнархозу геолог Н. М. Леднев. Этот выход подчинен юрским сланцам, связан с нарушениями неотектонического характера, образованными в результате сейсмической активизации региона. Цель исследования. Целью наших исследований является обоснование перспектив газоносности Горного Дагестана. На изучаемой территории отмечается наличие неправильных куполовидных складок с неожиданными направлениями их осей, пересекающими основное направление складчатости, частичными местными уклонениями в залегании пластов. Методы исследования. Основными методами исследования при изучении перспектив газоносности Горного Дагестана являлись геолого-структурный, стратиграфический, морфологический, тектонический и дешифрирование аэрофотоснимков. Результаты исследования. По сравнению с Предгорным Дагестаном и Прикумским районом, Горный Дагестан был подвержен более интенсивным геотектоническим движениям, неоднократно подвергался складчатости, испытал инверсию, со значительно большей амплитудой, что привело к усиленной денудации, развитию трещиноватости и разрывов, метаморфизму пород и органических образований. Все это отрицательно влияло на сохранение нефти и газа. Можно предполагать, что многие залежи, сформировавшиеся при прохождении продуцирующими толщами главной фазы нефтеобразования, были разрушены в периоды активизации тектонической деятельности на рубеже юры и мела, мела и палеогена. В дальнейшем шла генерация, преимущественно, газообразных углеводородов, которые при особенно благоприятных условиях могли сохраниться до настоящего времени. По результатам исследований можно утверждать, что газовое проявление Цущар могло проявиться в 1622, 1652 гг. в результате сильных землетрясений, эпицентр которых располагался в пределахисследуемого района This article describes the features of the geological structure of the Tsushar gas show area in the Kulinsky region on the Middle Jurassic deposits, and proposes a geological-structural diagram of the possible formation of oil and gas deposits. Minor manifestations of gas content, usually associated with mineral springs and subordinate to a thick stratum of Jurassic shales, developed over large areas of highland Dagestan, began to attract attention from 1931, in connection with the search for deposits of light rare gases. Gas analyzes show an increased content of light rare gases in a number of fields in highland Dagestan. In addition to the group of fields in Southern Dagestan, only one outlet of combustible gas in Central Dagestan is known – the Kulinsky region. It is pointed out in his handwritten report to the Dagestan Economic Council by the geologist N. M. Lednev. This outlet is subordinate to the Jurassic shale and is associated with neotectonic disturbances formed as a result of seismic activation of the region. Aim. The purpose of our research is to substantiate the prospects for gas content in Gorny Dagestan. In the study area, there are irregular dome-shaped folds with unexpected directions of their axes crossing the main direction of folding, partial local deviations in bedding. Methods. The main research methods in the study of the prospects for the gas content of Mountainous Dagestan were geological-structural, stratigraphic, morphological, tectonic and additional aerial photographs. Research results. Compared to Piedmont Dagestan and Prikumskiy region, Gorny Dagestan was subject to more intense geotectonic movements, repeatedly underwent folding, experienced inversion, with a much higher amplitude, which led to increased denudation, the development of fracturing and fractures, metamorphism of rocks and organic formations. All of this negatively affected the conservation of oil and gas. It can be assumed that many deposits, formed during the passage of the producing strata of the main phase of oil formation, were destroyed during periods of intensified tectonic activity at the boundary between the Jurassic and Cretaceous, Cretaceous and Paleogene. In the future, there was the generation of mainly gaseous hydrocarbons, which, under especially favorable conditions, could persist to the present day. According to the research results, it can be argued that the gas manifestation of Tsushar could have manifested itself in 1622, 1652. as a result of strong earthquakes, the epicenter, which was located within the study area

The high degree of knowledge of the upper horizons of the sedimentary cover of the Middle and South Caspian depressions, given an insufficient increase in hydrocarbon reserves, leads to the need for a detailed approach to the search for oil and gas deposits in deep-seated sediments (over 6 km). During the geological interpretation of new highly informative seismic data, as well as data of deep drilling and petrological core studies, there were revealed obvious shortcomings in the concepts of the origin and evolution of the Middle and South Caspian depressions. These ideas misinterpret evolution, especially the South Caspian Basin, which is characterized by a number of unique features: very thick sedimentary cover (up to 22 km), extremely high sedimentation rate, low heat flow and reservoir temperatures, abnormally high pore and reservoir pressures, high clay content of the section, etc. The main purpose of the study was to elucidate the regional structure and features of the dissection of the sedimentary cover of the Middle and South Caspian depressions, the conditions of occurrence and distribution of facies and thicknesses of individual complexes of deposits. The paper analyzes the results of some previous studies of the geological structure of the Middle and South Caspian depressions based on the data of deep seismic sounding, seismological and gravimetric observations. We consider the main conclusions of these studies, about the geological structure of the sedimentary complex of the region’s, very outdated and subject to revision. The results of seismic stratigraphic analysis of seismic data allowed the authors to identify new data about the tectonic structure and express a completely different point of view regarding the structure of the sedimentary cover in the region. The work also touches on the issue associated with the tectonics of the region and the alleged subduction zone here.

The article is devoted to the elucidation of the nature of the wave field recorded below the supporting-dominant seismic horizon «P» in the Middle Kura depression of Azerbaijan. A brief overview of the work carried out here is given; it is indicated that some geologists and geophysicists of our country, in our opinion, mistakenly assume that the observed wave field below the specified horizon is formed mainly by multiple reflections. Since the introduction of the common depth point method into the practice of seismic exploration, individual areas of the Middle Kura depression in Azerbaijan, including the Yevlakh-Agjabedi trough, have been repeatedly studied with varying degrees of frequency tracking. On the basis of this, a fairly large number of promising structures have been identified and mapped. But the structure of the Mesozoic, in particular the deposits of the Upper Cretaceous, still remains insufficiently studied. The study of the geological structure of the Mesozoic sediments, which are considered promising in terms of oil and gas content, is an urgent geological task; exploration work was carried out in the studied areas of the Middle Kura depression using a complex of geophysical methods at the modern technical and methodological level and new results were obtained. The constructed seismic sections show a dynamically pronounced and well-traceable seismic horizon corresponding to the Mesozoic surface and located deeper than it, relatively weak, short, discontinuous reflective boundaries that characterize the structure within the Mesozoic deposits. The studies carried out on the basis of modeling and velocity analysis made it possible to prove that the wave field in the time interval corresponding to the Mesozoic deposits owes its origin to intermittent single reflections from volcanic-carbonate deposits of the Upper Cretaceous age.

Despite the recent increased interest of researchers in the pre-Jurassic deposits of Western Siberia, this complex of rocks still remains relatively unexplored. In this paper, we consider fields that are in close proximity to each other, but have. fundamentally different geological structure and criteria for the oil and gas content of rocks that form the top of the pre-Jurassic complex.

The search for unconventional petroleum resources requires a shift in the way the petroleum potential of sedimentary basins is assessed. Gas in source rocks and tight reservoirs has largely been ignored in preference for traditional conventional gas plays. Recent developments in technology now allow for the extraction of gas trapped in low-permeability reservoirs. Assessments of the unconventional petroleum potential of basins, including estimates of the potential resource are required to guide future exploration. The Geological Survey of Queensland is collaborating with Geoscience Australia (GA) and other state agencies to undertake regional assessments of several basins with potential for unconventional petroleum resources in Queensland. The United States Geological Survey methodology for assessment of continuous petroleum resources is being adopted to estimate total undiscovered oil and gas resources. Assessments are being undertaken to evaluate the potential of key formations as shale oil and gas and tight-gas plays. The assessments focus on mapping key attributes including depth, thickness, maturity, total organic carbon (TOC), porosity, gas content, reservoir pressure, mineralogy and regional facies patterns using data from stratigraphic bores and petroleum wells to determine play fairways or areas of greatest potential. More detailed formation evaluation is being undertaken for a regional framework of wells using conventional log suites and mudlogs to calculate porosity, TOC, maturity, oil and gas saturations, and gas composition. HyLoggerTM data is being used to determine its validity to estimate bulk mineralogy (clay-carbonate-quartz) compared with traditional x-ray diffraction methods. These methods are being applied to key formations with unconventional potential in the Georgina and Eromanga basins in Queensland.

The X oil and gas condensate field is located in Parabel district of Tomsk region; the field is large in terms of recoverable reserves. Oil and gas content is confined to Jurassic sediments of Tyumen suite and Vasyugan suite. The reservoirs of the Vasyugan suite are marine and coastal-marine sediments, characterized by alternating sandstones, mudstones, siltstones, clays and exhibit complex internal aging. The productive deposits of the Tyumen suite are of continental origin and are distinguished by significant lithological variability. One oil deposit (J11 stratum), one gas and oil deposit (J12 stratum) and three gas condensate deposits (J13-4, J3, J4-5 strata) were identified in the productive formations. The article analyzes the features of the geological structure and conditions of sedimentation of productive strata. In terms of its phase state and physicochemical proper-ties, the fluid of the J11 deposit is a "volatile oil", phase state of which is close to the near-critical. Reservoirs of productive formations are of terrigenous type, porous, low-permeability, while the oil productivity of the formations is high due to the ultra-low oil viscosity.

The objective of this study was to build a set of structural and isopach maps of seismic sequences, seismic-geological sections, paleo-sections and correlation schemes; structural-tectonic and paleotectonic analysis of Novy Port shaft; to study the influence of tectonic processes and lithological factors on the oil and gas content of Jurassic and Cretaceous sedimentary sequences. It was concluded that the formation of the structural trap of Novy Port field began in Berrias-Aptian, the most intensive growth of the structure occurs in the post-Turonian time due to the upward movement of the basement block.
