Geofluid dynamics of oil and gas content of deep strata

The studies of the world and domestic experience in geological exploration of deep strata, as well as the analysis of extensive factual material indicate that formation of oil and gas potential at great depths depends on a significantly larger number of factors than at traditional depths. The fundamental research of oil and gas formation and accumulation in deep strata are of current importance. The research makes it possible to develop the theoretical framework for the oil and gas content concept which governs efficiency of oil and gas exploration to a great extent. This paper considers a set of qualitative criteria for predicting oil and gas content at great depths as a case-study of the South Caspian basin. The result of the research is a geofluid-dynamic concept of oil and gas formation in deep strata.
