Paleogeomorphological studies significance for searches of non-anticlinal oil and gas traps

Abstract

In many oil and gas bearing provinces of the USSR an identification of non-anticlinal oil and gas traps is a task of primary importance. As many traps are confined to ancient buried landforms, paleogeomorphological methods become more valuable. A complex of paleogeomorphological techniques is introduced. Individual regional discontinuity .surf aces and continental deposits are especially recommended for paleogeomorphological analysis in oil and gas bearing regions of the USSR.
