Abstract
The chapter provides an overview of the major onshore oil and gas producing regions in Azerbaijan. The chapter has divided the regions into four main sub regions. First, oil and gas bearing zone is the Apsheron peninsula, which is mainly of the Middle Pliocene, Upper Pliocene, and Miocene ages. The main oil and gas bearing and productive interval here is the Productive Series, which is subdivided into two divisions. The Upper productive series includes Surakhany, Sabunchi, Balakhany, and Pereryv suites, while the Lower productive series includes Nadkirmaku Glinistaya, Nadkirmaku Peschanaya, Kirmaku, Podkirmaku, and Kala suites. The second region, The Pre-Caspian-Kuba Monocline, is situated along the northeastern slope of the southeastern termination of the Greater Caucasus meganticlinorium. Here the Siazan Monocline is oil and gas bearing that is located on the northeastern overturned slope of Tengiz-Beshbarmak anticlinorium. Region three, titled as the lower Kura lowland region, includes Pirsagat-Khamamdag, Kalamadyn-Byandovan, and Kyurovdag-Neftechala anticlines, extending southeast into the Caspian Sea. The fourth region is listed as Yevlakh-Agdzhabedi area that consists of lower portions of the Kura and Araks rivers, and is situated along the axis of the Saatly-Kyurdamir uplift. This region is prospective for the discovery of new oil and gas fields.
