On formation of oil and gas deposits in platform sediments and transition complex of South Mangishlag

B.B. Khibasov

The views of various researchers on the conditions of formation of deposits and the patterns of their distribution are quite controversial, which is primarily due to the uneven understanding of the genesis of hydrocarbons and the nature of migration. In all sedimentary basins of the worlds there are always problems and issues related to the formation of hydrocarbon deposits. Similar problems and their solutions related to the formation of hydrocarbon deposits are relevant in studied region as well. It is obvious that geological factors such as geochemical, tectonic, lithologic and stratigraphic and others affect the nature of oil and gas potential of Mangishlag. Therefore, the issues related to this subject are considered as problems and estimated versatile.
