Brief description, technical and economic parameters of advantages and positive qualities.

The study uses a completely new approach to the search for hydrocarbon deposits on the Black Sea shelf, which has no domestic or foreign analogues. Its value for world and domestic science lies in the validity of multidisciplinary fundamental principles and methodological approaches to the search for hydrocarbons based on the theory of fluid genesis. Individual components of this technique contribute to the theory of localization of paleofluids and physiological processes in marine organisms under the influence of hydrocarbons. The importance of ascending deep fluid flows for the formation of oil and gas fields has been shown. The work can be used for the needs of the country’s economic development, primarily in the work of the Naftogaz Ukrainy concern and the general human community, thanks to the contribution to the fuel and energy industry of Ukraine and due to a significant expansion and specification of the areas of possible hydrocarbons, especially in the northwestern (Ukrainian ) parts of the sedimentary cover of the Black Sea. This is especially true for areas with non-anticline traps, since it can significantly increase the effectiveness of exploration work within marine areas. The fluidogenic component of the methodology, which provides for the probable renewability of hydrocarbon deposits in the geological section of sea basins, can fundamentally change the concept of the oil and gas industry and open the way to the energy independence of the state.
