Conceptual Geological Model of Reconstruction of Sedimentation Settings of the Upper Paleozoic Complex of Deposits of the Northern Ustyurt and Adjacent Areas of the Turan Plate

摘要

On the basis of the developed conceptual geological model,a comparative analysis of the facies situation of the formation of upper Paleozoic deposits of the Northern Ustyurt is carried out.The author substantiates the fact that sedimentation in the geological interval from the Ramenskoye to the Assel age inclusive on the territory of the Northern Ustyurt and the entire Turan plate occurred on the Paleotetis shelf.One of the indirect signs indicating possible oil and gas potential of the famensk and Assel carbonate complexes on the territory of the Northern Ustyurt at depths accessible to modern drilling specifications has been identified.
