Hydrocarbon conditions of folded regions in view of geochemical prospecting of oil and gas fields

The investigation is concerned with the hydrocarbon conditions of the South Caspian, Rionian, Vienna, Pannonian and Transilvanian depressions and East European and Scythian-Turan platforms. The object is investigating into the geotectonic and geodynamic aspects of the conditions of the sedimentary basins with a view to refining the scientific fundamentals and technology of geochemical prospecting of oil and gas deposits in folded regions. The researchers have revealed the main specific features of the gaseous hydrocarbon status of the atmosphere,hydrosphere and sedimentary complex of the lithosphere of diverse tectonic types and developed on the basis thereof the scientific fundamentals of geochemical prospecting of oil and gas fields as applied to folded areas,developed new methods of geochemical prospecting of oil and gas deposits in folded areas, assessed the prospects and top-priority regions within the limits of the Mugan monoclinal fold, predicted the phase hydrocarbon makeup in the deep-set deposits in the South Caspian depression area and solved a number of applied problems. Based on the results of comprehensive geological and geochemical studies on the Mugan monoclinal fold. The Oil Producing Corporation "Azneft" has selected the Cashimkhanli area prospecting drilling areas. The obtained results may find application in the sphere of prospecting oil and gas deposits in folded areas, monitoring the air-tightness of subsurface gas reservoirs, predicting eathquakes and solving ecological problemsAvailable from VNTIC / VNTIC - Scientific & Technical Information Centre of RussiaSIGLERURussian Federatio
