STRUCTURAL-TECTONIC FEATURES AND OIL AND GAS POTENTIAL OF THE CRETACEOUS DEPOSITS OF THE BUKHARA-KHIVA REGION
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article examines the oil and gas potential of the Cretaceous deposits of the Bukhara-Khiva oil and gas region, with particular emphasis on the Chardzhou Step. A comprehensive analysis of geological and geophysical data, drilling results, and the hydrodynamic conditions of groundwater within the Cretaceous deposits was conducted. The study identifies prospective areas associated with tectonic, lithological, and hydrodynamic seals that may control the accumulation and preservation of hydrocarbons. The structural and tectonic framework of the Cretaceous succession, the distribution of productive horizons, groundwater flow directions, hydraulic gradients, and filtration velocities were analyzed. Local areas characterized by favorable hydrodynamic conditions for hydrocarbon accumulation and preservation were identified. The results demonstrate the significant potential for expanding prospective areas within the Cretaceous deposits of the Chardzhou Step and emphasize the need for targeted geological exploration in insufficiently studied areas of the region.
