Abstract

25 oil, condensate, and gas fields have been discovered in Tajikistan, most of which are under development. This field which 8 are located within the Tajik Depression. The Tajik Depression is a central tectonic element of regional importance. This study reviews the geological aspect and oil and gas potential of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic deposits of the Tajik Depression. In the context of Jurassic-Paleogene deposits, productive horizons, depth of their occurrence, lithology, and reservoir properties are distinguished. The article also gives characteristics of the prospects of oil and gas potential of individual territories.
