pdf Evolution and current status of petroleum exploration activity in the South-Western Gissar region of the Republic of Uzbekistan
The South-West Gissar region is one of the five oil and gas regions of the Republic of Uzbekistan, with proven industrial production for oil and gas belonging to the carbonate sections of the Middle Upper Jurassic. The article provides a general overview of this region, the history of geological and geophysical knowledge, lithological and stratigraphical characteristics, tectonic structure and petroleum potential. The stratigraphic and tectonic habitat of petroleum accumulations and their phase composition are presented. The history of the petroleum development of the region is considered, the results of exploration activity, including those conducted by investors, the number of open petroleum accumulations, their ranking by fluid types, and the degree of development are presented. Priority stratigraphic structures of rocks and territories for further geological exploration activity were identified. The region’s oil and gas prospects are justified by the presence of promising traps, as well as promising and forecasted hydrocarbon resources. The forecast hydrocarbon resources for several stratigraphic levels are presented: Lower-Middle Jurassic and Middle-Upper Jurassic, which indicates the feasibility of further exploration activity for oil and gas in the South-West Gissar region of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Keywords: oil and gas exploration activity, hydrocarbons accumulation, petroleum potential, South-West Gissar region, Republic of Uzbekistan.
