This book examines the theories surrounding the origin of oil and the formation of hydrocarbon fields from a hydrogeological perspective. This valuable research perspective is often overlooked, yet it is the deep petroliferous basins that hold the most hydrocarbon accumulations. The fluids at these levels play a crucial part in the formation, preservation, and destruction of mineral deposits. Discovering just how the fluids are formed could shed light on many aspects of practical geology.

Presents results of the study of deeply sourced fluid dynamics in oil-and-gas basins with reference to Siberia and Southern Russia and Caucasus and Bukhara (Uzbekistan)
