Features of formation and placement of large and giant oil and gas deposits in megareservaries of sedimentary basins

Abstract

The degree of influence of various geological factors on the formation and location of large oil and gas deposits is considered on the statistical data on open large and giant accumulations of hydrocarbons. An attempt has been made to establish correlations between the volume of hydrocarbon reserves in the megareservoir and geological parameters affecting the formation of both oil and gas deposits. Based on the results of the conducted research and analysis of published materials, the conditions for the formation of large and giant hydrocarbon deposits have been clarified. Keywords: oil; gas; mega reservoirs; oil and gas formation; trap; reservoir rocks.
