| Description/Abstract | The Tedzhen zone is currently one of the most active areas for natural gas exploration in the Soviet Union. The Tedzhen zone can be used to test methods of local prognosis of oil and gas potential by analysis of the structure of traps in a three-layered reservoir in known deposits, as well as to predict the potential oil and gas contents of structures discovered by geophysical methods within zones in the Neocomian rock complex and, by extrapolation, in the Upper Jurassic rocks beneath. This paper reviews the data available on this deposit and comes to the following conclusions. (1) Oil or gas traps may be present in the area of a local uplift if the height of the fold exceeds the thickness of the false seal. (2) The height of the trap is effectively the difference between the fold height and the thickness of the false seal. (3) The degree to which local folds may be filled with hydrocarbons depends on the thickness of the false seal in the area of the spill point on the saddle and on the height of the folds. (4) Such analysis shows that oil and gas may be present in the Shatlyk horizon in the Western Tedzhen and Eastern Mollaker areas, and in the Upper Jurassic carbonates in the Mollaker and perhaps also the Tedzhen and Western Tedzhen areas; it likewise identifies the Donmez, Kichaga, and Birleshik areas as having high potential for oil and gas. |
