To the Assessment Hydrocarbon Potential Zone Buried Uplifts «Saatli-Goychay-Mugan»

Abstract

A b s t r a c tAccording to the analysis of geological and geophysical data, adapted by the authors, it is concluded that the oil geological and tectonic zoning of the territory of Azerbaijan, the monitoring region «Saatli-Goychay-Mugan» confused researchers. The reason was the negative results during drilling, i.e. search for oil and gas deposits in the studied structure failed except Muradhanlinskoy structure. However, during drilling on some of the structures obtained commercial oil inflow. These and other factors indicate that the zone may be considered forward-looking in regard to oil and gas. The authors suggest that the prospects for geological study, the zone should be analyzed from the point-of hydrocarbon formation. After analyzing the materials in this aspect, it is assumed that regardless of any formation of oil concept hydrocarbon potential zones of buried uplifts «Saatli-Goychay-Mugan» «hidden» under a thick layer of Cenozoic.

Genesis and organic geochemical characteristics of oil shale in eastern Azerbaijan

“…In the maturated structure of kerogen, the aromatic plastic sheets form a subparallel series and they become more regulated. According to some authors, depending on the temperature of OM in coal and oil shales the time of OM catalytic transformation can be accelerated [23, [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35].…”

“…Depending on the temperature, the decomposition process goes quickly in the compounds which are composed of heteroatomic organic matter. As organic matter of aliphatic structure is more resistant to temperature to get less amount of heteroatomic compounds in its composition the additional temperature is required [35]. Thus, the weight loss of the organic matter occurs at high temperatures in aliphatic type OM, but at low temperatures (200 °C) in OM of aromatic type.…”

Lithofacies, changes in mineral composition and reservoir properties of the Maykopian sediments in the Yevlakh-Aghjabedi Depression

“…sist mainly of thin siltstone layers, which are mainly composed of clay layers, probably derived from the weakly eroded Qarajali-Saatli uplift zone [4,5].…”
