Abstract
The identification of promising areas of exploration to develop the resource base of the Aktobe region is an urgent issue due to the gradual depletion of proven hydrocarbon reserves. The subsalt complex of the Aktobe Uralian Foreland is a prospective object, where prospecting and exploration work was carried out unevenly in the 1950s and 1980s, and most of the seismic survey data of 2004-2008 are low-informative. The subsalt complex of the studied area has been poorly studied by high resolution seismic studies and deep exploration drilling and previously belonged to the territories with low hydrocarbon potential. On the basis of the conducted research, data on the structural and tectonic zoning of the junction zone of the Precaspian basin and the southern segment of the Urals Foredeep are summarized, the geological structure of the Aktobe Uralian Foreland area is substantiated, favorable geochemical criteria of oil and gas potential are revealed.
