CORRELATION OF MASS DISTRIBUTION LAW OF HYDROCARBON ACCUMULATIONS AND PETROLEUM FIELDS
Petroleum basin hydrocarbon accumulation distribution law constitutes mathematical basement of quantitative prognosis of hydrocarbon potential. Wherein it is important to differ the distribution law of hydrocarbon accumulations from that of the petroleum fields. It is shown that if hydrocarbon accumulation mass distribution of petroleum basin is governed by the truncated Pareto distribution then distribution of petroleum fileds of the basin cannot be described by the same law. Using probability theory analytical methods as well as statistical analysis methods and statistical data processing allowed establishing the law of hydrocarbon fileds mass distribution provided that hydrocarbon accumulation distribution is governed by the truncated Pareto law. Received probability distribution is modeless and close to be power-series although strictly speaking it is not the case.
