Geotectonic aspects of oil and gas potential of the intermountain segment of the Black Sea-Caspian Sea region

Purpose. To identify potential places of hydrocarbon accumulation in the Black SeaCaspian Sea region. Methodology. To achieve this goal, the author used the methods of retrospective analysis, review and comparison. With the help of the retrospective analysis, it became possible to determine that the crustal structures of this region are in close interaction with the border areas and have passed a long geological way of development, but all of them are united by the presence of hydrocarbon accumulations.
