Oil and gas prospects in deep deposits of the South Caspian water area

Background. In this paper, we present the results of geological and geophysical works an analysis conducted simulation South Caspian Basin. Aim. Simulation hydrocarbon systems Turkmen sector basin. Materials methods. Statistical generalization systematization data materials from reference literature, fund sources, field published Sh.F. Mekhtiev, I.S. Guliyev, M.Z. Rachinsky, S.S. Djibouti, S.A. Aliev, V.Yu. Kerimov, V.V. Kolodiya others. was performed in PetroMod software. Results. The showed that entire commercial oil gas potential region is positioned mainly outside outer perimeter deep-water area, form annular strip with width 20–50 km. All deposits were found to be genetically spatially associated areas high macro- micro-seismicity slip joints filled hydrothermal aggregates.
