Abstract
The development of the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan is largely based on a powerful base of mineral raw materials. The leading role is played by huge reserves of oil and gas. They are located in 6 oil and gas sedimentary basins of Western and Eastern Kazakhstan. More than 350 oil and gas fields have been explored in them, containing over 6.4 billion tons of recoverable oil reserves and about 4.5 trillion m3 of gas. The main volumes of oil reserves (85.2%) are concentrated in 25 large and giant fields. Numerous small objects contain only 5.3% of the reserves. In the changed situation on the world oil market, the development of such small fields with recoverable reserves of less than 1.0 million tons becomes unprofitable. In further work in new promising basins, one should focus on prospecting, first of all, large and medium-sized deposits
