New Zealand's scientific institutions have been restructured so as to be more responsive to the needs of the economy. Exploration for and development of oil and gas resources depend heavily on the geological sciences. In New Zealand, these activities are favoured by a comprehensive, open-file database of the results of previous work, and by a historically publicly funded, in-depth knowledge base of the extensive sedimentary basins. This expertise is now only partially funded by government research contracts, and increasingly undertakes contract work in a range of scientific services to the upstream petroleum sector, both in New Zealand and overseas. By aligning government-funded research programmes with the industry's knowledge needs, there is maximum advantage in improving the understanding of the occurrence of oil and gas resources. A Crown Research Institute can serve as an interface between advances in fundamental geological sciences, and the practical needs of the industry. Current publicly funded programmes of the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences include a series of regional basin studies, nearing completion; and multi-disciplinary team studies related to the various elements of the petroleum systems of New Zealand: source rocks and their maturation, migration and entrapment as a function of basin structure and tectonics, and the distribution and configuration of reservoir systems.

It is shown that the evolutionary-catagenetic model for calculating the initial potential hydrocarbon resources can serve as a scientific basis for the separate quantitative prediction of areas of oil-and-gas content. In this case retrospectively evaluated are the scales of generation and accumulation of hydrocarbons in the source rocks during catagenetic evolution of sedimentary basin. The authors propose a method, the results of evaluation of generation and accumulation scales and initial potential oil and gas resources for major oil-and-gas bearing complexes of Dzhebol stage.

Background. Decline of oil and gas traditional reserves pushes companies to explore and involve in production complex reservoirs which results in exploration risks increase. That is why an exploration research has to be integrational and its’ main result has to be determination and decreasing uncertainties. Aim. The aim of this research is the planning of further exploration program within the studied territory, based on the main uncertainties and trends in geological development. Materials and methods. Several types of research methods were applied, including field observation, laboratory analysis and geological desktop studies. The results of petroleum systems modeling is the basis for source rocks maturity prediction, the main stages of hydrocarbons generation — migration and critical moment estimation. It also provided the analysis of migration distance (limits) and geological risks related to it, petroleum saturation prediction for the main plays. Great emphasis was also placed on the search and processing of additional archival data, which made it possible to significantly detail the structural-tectonic framework of the studied area. Results. Consistent progression in field observation, laboratory analysis and geological desktop studies allowed to narrow the range of uncertainties, clarify the chance of geological success (gCOS), plan the further exploration program, and highlight higher-priority license blocks. As a result, more than 60 additional prospects were identified, for each of them both the probabilistic estimation of oil and gas resources and chance of geological success evaluation were made. Moreover, the further exploration program was approved. Conclusions. Therefore, the study allowed to analyse main uncertainties and correct further exploration program on the basis of integrated analysis of geological development history and geological structure of the studied area.
