pdf Formation and distribution of heavy oils and bitumens in the Bukhara-Khiva region
Within the Bukhara-Khiva petroleum region, in addition to oil and gas fields, a large number of accumulations of solid bitumen, heavy and high-viscosity oils have been discovered. The geological structure and bitumen and oil content in the stratigraphic range of distribution of these accumulations - from the Paleogene to the Paleozoic are considered. Within the Zirabulak-Ziaetda mountains, six bituminous bearing areas have been identified: Mayzak, Sukaity I, Sukaity II, Chadyr, Zapadnoe and Karaiz. According to them, forecast resources are calculated. Also known is the Karaiz uplift with numerous bituminous bearing areas. The distribution surface is more than 60 square kilometers. Рromising resources of bitumen in C3 category were estimated for the selected objects. Within the Bukhara step, the predicted resources of bitumen areas are more than 352.0 million tons. This gives grounds for setting up prospecting and exploration activity and organizing experimental sites for the development of unconventional methods for hydrocarbons extracting.

Keywords: bitumen, heavy oils, stratigraphy, predicted resources of bituminous accumulations, setting up exploration activity, Bukhara-Khiva petroleum region.
