SUMMARYThe Pre-Caucasian Oil and Gas Province is one of the oldest provinces in Russia, the main hydrocarbon reserves are associated with the Meso-Cenozoic sedimentary complex. Unlike the Mesozoic sedimentary complex, which is mainly represented by fractured-porous and porous reservoirs in terrigenous and carbonate rocks, the prospects of the Cenozoic sedimentary complex are associated with clayey porousfractured Paleogene reservoirs, including reservoirs in the deposits of the Khadum suite of the Early Paleogene. Since the fractured component has a key role in the structure of the reservoir and in the filtration of fluids, it is necessary to develop a technique for developing of decompaction zones which are perspective to have a fractured reservoirs in the deposits of the Khadum suite, based on the complex of geological, geophysical and remote methods.
