STRUCTURAL-TECTONIC PECULIARITIES OF THE NORTH-WESTERN PART OF SOUTH CASPIAN

Abstract

Decreasing of potential of oil and gas bearing resources of Productive series sediments gradually in land and sea territories of Azerbaijan creates a need to attract pay sandstone lying deeper in terms of stratigraphy and hypsometry to prospecting drilling.
In this regard, the main prospecting directions are related with Paleogene-Miocene and especially Mesozoic sediments lying at depth. The main perspectives about Productive series are related with productive horizons of South Caspian basin, but with the
sediment of Mesozoic and partly productive series in North Absheron uplift zone. Widening geophysical prospecting works in these fields and drawing them into research and prospecting dwelling are rational with the purpose of studying the mentioned fields comprehensively. Besides deep depth of South Caspian drawing its coastal transit zone into research and prospecting works is one of the necessary principles.
