The aim of the article is the identification and characterization of complex factors acting simultaneously on forming a large-sized reservoirs in the deep South Caspian Basin, as well as the formation of a model based on a combination of causing the formation of hydrocarbon deposits synchronously occurring natural processes. The article comments on reasons for high layer pressures existing in the fields located in the South Caspian Depression (SCD), studies impacting factors and develops a methodical estimation on this basis. The tectonic factor and density-barometric model can become the main criterion for selection of priority projects for exploration, site selection for drilling and to accommodate exploration and production wells. Obtained results allow conducting effective studies of the exploration and development of oil and gas condensate fields in the SCD area.

El objetivo de este artículo es la identificación y caracterización de los complejos factores que actúan en la formación de depósitos de gran tamaño en lo profundo de la cuenca al sur del Mar Caspio, al igual que el desarrollo de un modelo de formación de depósitos de hidrocarburos basado en la combinación de procesos naturales sincrónicos. Este artículo analiza las causas de la presión de las capas altas en los campos de hidrocarburos ubicados al sur de la depresión cáspica y sus factores de impacto. Además, se propone el componente tectónico y el modelo de densidad barométrico como los criterios más importantes para la selección de proyectos prioritarios de exploración y la escogencia de lugares para perforación de pozos. Los resultados obtenidos permiten realizar estudios de exploración y desarrollo en los campos de petróleo y gas condensado en el sur de la depresión cáspica.
