	Complex of unconventional hydrocarbon resources being developed today are analyzed. It was established that shale hydrocarbons represent the priority in terms of technology of development and opportunity to extract not only gas but also oil. Conceptual model of "shale" formations in ancient and young platforms are analyzed, and it is stated that two types of reservoirs are found there, having different oil and gas potential. The technique for prospecting of the most promising oil and gas sites and shale formations are developed for subsequent exploration drilling. Keywords: unconventional reservoir, "shale" formation, conceptual model, technique for hydrocarbon prospecting.
