Basic mechanisms of hydrocarbon reservoir formation in erosion scarps of the basemment
The article discusses the conditions for the formation of non-structural hydrocarbon deposits confined to the erosion scarps of the basement. From a scientific point of view, the formation mechanisms of void space in metamorphic rocks are of considerable interest. In practical terms, it is important to substantiate the search criteria for industrially significant non-structural deposits of oil and gas in the weathering crust of the basement.
