Abstract

The paper underlines that reserves in anticline traps are exhausting both in Azerbaijan and around the globe and in this respect the priority today is exploration for hydrocarbon resources in non-anticline traps, which are formed with a certain role of non-depositions or in other words - breaks in sedimentation process. In this respect, it is natural that in the recent years the geoscientists pay a close attention to researches on non-anticline traps and non-depositions, since they were not covered by specific studies until now. It should be noted, that studies held at the “Geophysics” Department of Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University are some kind of exception. In this paper, results of some studies are given, including outlined boundaries of unconformities, related to nondepositions under various seismogeological conditions in onshore and offshore areas. It has been also indicated, that no specific studies of non-depositions by use of seismic survey have been held in Azerbaijan. This paper is devoted to outlining and tracking of boundaries related to breaks in sedimentation process analyzed by use of various seismic survey data acquired in various oil and gas regions of Azerbaijan. 

First of all, the paper considers the brief geological and geophysical characteristics of non-depositions and it is noted that a special role in their study is attributed to high-resolution seismic survey and electric survey. It is specially underlined that under the non-depositions the geoscientists mean the absence of terrestrial depositions and outlining and tracing of regional and reference seismic horizons are not complicated task. According to the latest studies, during the periods of global and local breaks in sedimentation process, the depositions of terrestrial origin are absent, however deposition of cosmic dust is continuously going on and this has been proved by various studies. 

The paper also indicated the role of some researchers in studies of depositions of cosmic origin and their reflections in seismic data. The results of studies of depositions of cosmic origin by use of modeling held in Azerbaijan have been also displayed.
