ГЕОЛОГИЧЕСКОЕ СТРОЕНИЕ И УСЛОВИЯ ФОРМИРОВАНИЯ НЕФТЕБИТУМОНАСЫЩЕННЫХ ПОРОД ПАЛЕОГЕНА ПЛОЩАДИ ШЕРАБАД СУРХАНДАРЬИНСКОЙ ВПАДИНЫ

The article discusses the geological structure, structural and tectonic features, lithological and stratigraphic characteristics, material composition and conditions of formation of the newly identified Sherabad bitumen occurrence of the Surkhandarya megasyncline. The bitumen occurrence is characterized by a complex structural relationship of the main Mesozoic-Cenozoic oil and gas complexes, and a wide distribution of thrust tectonics. Based on a comprehensive study of the Sherabad bitumen occurrence , the occurrence, conditions of formation and placement of natural bitumen deposits, as well as their genetic types, were determined . Within the study area, the following Bitumen manifestations are predominantly oil-bitumen-saturated rocks consisting of malt and asphalt.
