Deposits of Hydrocarbons with Renewable Reserves and Experience of New Estimation Methods

Abstract

The paper gives a review of the Russian scientists' investigations in the field of research of the hydrocarbon renewal reserves. The conception of two-step formation of hydrocarbon deposits, relied on organic theory of oil origin, is in the base of introduced investigations. The main clauses of the conception are immersion of potentially source rocks to the depth of oil and gas windows, existence of present-day migration canals and presence of accumulation zones. Attention is given to development of prognostic criteria of oil and gas bearing zones with renewable hydrocarbon reserves. Represented investigations confirm the conception of two-step formation of hydrocarbon deposits.
