pdf Geological aspects of the current state and prospects for the development of underground gas storage in the Republic of Uzbekistan
A brief overview of the current state of underground gas storage facilities in the world is presented, and information about their main types is provided. The geological aspects of providing the Republic of Uzbekistan with underground gas storage facilities and reducing their number, as well as prospects for expanding the active volume through their modernization, are considered. It is concluded that the existing volumes of underground natural gas storage are insufficient for seasonal regulation of gas consumption. Based on previously performed geological and geophysical studies, facilities have been proposed for the creation of underground gas storage facilities in their volume. The general information about these objects, the history of their identification, the geological exploration carried out, the main parameters of the formations allocated for construction and the expected active storage volumes are given. The conclusion is made about the need for targeted additional geological and field studies to make decisions on the feasibility of building underground gas storage facilities, which will solve the issue of its uniform use in the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Keywords: underground gas storage, geological exploration, Republic of Uzbekistan.

pdf Integrated use of satellite imagery and geophysical data in forecast studies for oil and gas (western part of Bukharo-Khiva region)
The article highlights the results of studies on the refinement of the regional structural plan and the search for local structural petroleum traps in the western part of the Bukhara-Khiva region. The features of the placement of search objects and the nature of their expression on satellite imagery data are considered. Objects of very different quality were analyzed: known structures (removed from drilling, prepared and identified), objects identified by seismic surveys. The structures and faults established by the interpretation determined the nature of the distribution of sedimentation-accumulation, the latest faults caused the formation of fracture zones, which improved the reservoir properties of the rocks. A comprehensive analysis of geological and geophysical data and structural interpretation made it possible to establish the relationship and interdependence of tectonic elements, to identify patterns in its structure and distribution of elements of oil and gas exploration interest. The main purpose of the research is to identify the criteria for regional and local structures bearing the productive petroleum levels of the sedimentary cover.

Keywords: satellite imagery data, geological and geophysical data, structural hydrocarbon trap, productive hydrocarbon level, western part of the Bukhara-Khiva region.

pdf Petroleum prospects in the sedimentary strata of the Khorezm monocline and surrounding territories according to the geological, geophysical and cosmo-geological investigations data
The article discusses the features of the geological structure, the identification of petroleum bearing promising zones and the scientific substantiation of the optimal areas of prospecting and exploration for the Khorezm monocline and adjacent territories through a comprehensive analysis of cosmo-geological study and geological and geophysical data. A comprehensive interpretation made it possible to minimize the existing multivariance in solving certain problems related to the tectonic features of the study area, determining possible zones of oil and gas accumulation, identifying fracture zones, predicting structural traps of the sedimentary cover for setting prospecting seismic surveys in a poorly studied, but potentially petroleum bearing promising territory of Uzbekistan.

Keywords: trap forecasting, petroleum bearing promising zone, cosmo-geological study, geological and geophysical data, Khorezm monocline, Uzbekistan.
