| Paleotectonic analysis of the formation conditions and location features of the hydrocarbon accumulations in the South-Western Gissar petroleum bearing region | |
| This paper presents a paleotectonic analysis of the South-Western Gissar petroleum bearing region, one of the promising oil and gas areas of the Republic of Uzbekistan. An analysis of the sedimentation history and the framework structural evolution revealed that the study area was characterized by moderate tectonic activity during the Tithonian stage. The consistent thickness of the Lower Cretaceous section, as well as the Cenomanian and Turonian strata, indicates low tectonic intensity during this period. It is established that the formation of the modern structural-tectonic framework began in the late Upper Cretaceous. This stage plays a key role in the migration and redistribution of hydrocarbons. The constructed paleotectonic sections demonstrate a significant transformation in the structural position of the accumulations, which began at the end of the Late Cretaceous. The main factors determining the distribution of hydrocarbon accumulations in this region include the presence of generation potential in Lower-Middle Jurassic terrigenous strata and the shielding role of the Tithonian salt-anhydrite sequence as a regional seal, as well as the influence of the late Alpine folding phase. This phase finally formed local and regional structures and activated hydrocarbon migration processes in the tectonic fault zones. The obtained results allow more efficient prediction of new hydrocarbon accumulation zones in the presalt complex of the South-Western Gissar petroleum bearing region. Keywords: sedimentation history, paleotectonic analysis, paleotectonic section, location of hydrocarbon accumulations, South-Western Gissar petroleum bearing region, Republic of Uzbekistan. |
