Current approach allows us to understand in more detail the principles of the petroleum systems- mechanisms of generation, migration and accumulation of hydrocarbons.</p> <p>The paper describes the process of basin modeling starting from the stages of complex geological and geophysical analysis, interpretation and integration of data, ending with a risk assessment of the potential pool of prospects and selection of prospects for subsoil use.</p>basin modelingoil and gas accumulationsgenerationsource rockpetroleum systemsбассейновое моделированиезалежи углеводородовгенерацияаккумуляциянефтегазоматеринская породанефтегазоносная система1.Захрямина М.О.
