The geologic structure and development of the Northeast Caucasus has produced a complex distribution of hydrocarbons in different phases throughout Upper Cretaceous deposits. A comprehensive study of the thermobaric conditions in the region are presented so that the patterns of hydrocarbon phase transformations can be identified. In addition the maturation of the geologic formations in the area that led to the oil formation is discussed. (JMT)
