Preface
Existing views on geodynamics (recharge, migration, discharge) of fluids at deep
layers of petroliferous basins are summarized. The infiltration and elision theo-
ries explaining development of fluid pressures in deep formations are called into
questionbasedonquantitativeestimatesavailableforsomeartesian(petroliferous)
basins.UsingtheWestSiberian,Pechora,Terek-Kuma,Bukhara–Karshi,andother
petroliferousbasinsasexamples,thestratum-blockstructureofdeepformationsis
substantiated for stratified systems of platform in inter- and intramontane depres-
sions. It is shown that petroliferous reservoirs at great depths are characterized,
regardlessoflithology,bylargelyfissure-relatedcapacityandpermeability(clayey
rocksincluded)changeableinspaceandthroughgeologicaltime.Muchattentionis
paid to development of abnormally high formation pressures. Peculiarities in heat
andmasstransferatdeeplevelsareconsideredfordifferentregions.Theenergetic
formation model substantiated for deep fluids explains different anomalies (baric,
thermal,hydrogeochemical,mineralogical,andothers)atdeeplevelsofplatforms.
Based on hydrogeodynamic considerations, the theory of oil origin and formation
ofhydrocarbon fieldsisproposed.Thebookisofinterestforoilmen,hydrogeolo-
gists, geologists, and specialists dealing with prospecting of petroliferous deposits
as well as industrial, mineral, and thermal waters in deep formations of stratified
sedimentarybasins.
