ABSTRACT
The study’s relevance lies in the region’s strategic importance for energy security and economic development and the need to devise optimal strategies for hydrocarbon reserves production and management in the face of global market changes and environmental challenges. This study aimed to investigate the geological and geochemical characteristics that influence oil and gas formation and accumulation on the southeastern side of the Pre-Caspian Basin. The research used analytical, classification, statistical, structural-functional, functional, deductive, and synthesis methods. As part of the study of the southeastern flank of the Pre-Caspian Basin, a comprehensive analysis of geological and geophysical data, including detailed seismic interpretation and geochemical analysis of rocks and fluids, was carried out. This multivariate analysis revealed the essential structural features of the region and identified prospective traps for oil and gas. The findings of this study emphasize the strategic importance of the region as a potential source of energy resources while highlighting the importance of attention to environmental and social aspects in the development of these resources. This study represents a significant contribution to the oil and gas industry and helps guide the region’s strategic development with sustainability and resource efficiency in mind. The practical significance of this study is to provide a basis for more efficient exploitation and management of oil and gas resources on the southeastern side of the Caspian Basin, contributing to the region’s economic development and energy security.

Badanie struktury złóż ropy i gazu oraz prognozowanie korzystnych celów po południowo-wschodniej stronie basenu Morza Kaspijskiego
bezpieczeństwo energetyczne, rozwój gospodarczy, strategie optymalne, zarządzanie zapasami
Trafność opracowania wynika ze strategicznego znaczenia regionu dla bezpieczeństwa energetycznego i rozwoju gospodarczego oraz konieczności opracowania optymalnych strategii wydobycia i zarządzania złożami węglowodorów w obliczu zmian na rynku światowym i wyzwań środowiskowych. Celem tej analizy było zbadanie cech geologicznych i geochemicznych wpływających na powstawanie i akumulację ropy i gazu w południowo-wschodniej części Basenu Przedkaspijskiego. W badaniach wykorzystano metody analityczne, klasyfikacyjne, statystyczne, strukturalno-funkcjonalne, funkcjonalne, dedukcyjne i syntetyczne. W ramach badań południowo-wschodniej flanki Basenu Przedkaspijskiego przeprowadzono kompleksową analizę danych geologicznych i geofizycznych, obejmującą szczegółową interpretację sejsmiczną oraz analizę geochemiczną skał i płynów. Ta wielowymiarowa analiza ujawniła podstawowe cechy strukturalne regionu i zidentyfikowała potencjalne pułapki dla ropy i gazu. Wyniki tego badania podkreślają strategiczne znaczenie regionu jako potencjalnego źródła zasobów energii, podkreślając jednocześnie znaczenie dbałości o aspekty środowiskowe i społeczne w rozwoju tych zasobów. Badanie to stanowi znaczący wkład w przemysł naftowy i gazowy i pomaga kierować strategicznym rozwojem regionu z myślą o zrównoważonym rozwoju i efektywnym wykorzystaniu zasobów. Praktyczne znaczenie niniejszego opracowania polega na stworzeniu podstaw dla bardziej efektywnej eksploatacji i zarządzania zasobami ropy i gazu po południowo-wschodniej stronie Basenu Morza Kaspijskiego, przyczyniając się do rozwoju gospodarczego regionu i bezpieczeństwa energetycznego.
