Ever since the early discoveries at Cabawin (1960) and Moonie (1961), the origin of oil and gas in the Surat/Bowen Basin has been a subject of speculation. Hydrocarbons have been found in reservoirs ranging in age from Permian to Early Jurassic; even fractured pre-Permian 'basement' rocks have occasionally recorded shows.Recent geochemical studies have identified rich source rocks within the Jurassic, Triassic and Permian sequences. The Middle Jurassic Walloon Coal Measures are thermally immature throughout the Surat Basin and are unlikely to have generated significant amounts of hydrocarbons. Lower Jurassic Evergreen Formation source rocks have reached 'nominal early maturity' (VR = 0.6) in parts of the basin. The Middle Triassic Moolayember Formation lies within the oil generation zone in the northern Taroom Trough. However, no oil has yet been confidently correlated with either a Jurassic or a Triassic source. On geochemical and geological grounds it is likely that most, if not all, of the hydrocarbons discovered to date were generated from Permian source rocks.The probability of finding gas as well as oil in Permian, Triassic or Jurassic reservoirs increases from south to north, in accord with organic maturity trends in the Permian of the Taroom Trough. On the narrow thrust-bounded eastern flank, vertical migration has occurred, resulting in oilfields at Moonie and Bennett. In contrast, extensive lateral migration of hydrocarbons across the gentle western flank of the basin is indicated by numerous small oil and gas fields on the Roma Shelf and Wunger Ridge.

The article discusses the history of the geological study of the Aldan-Maya oil and gas region, during which numerous signs of oil and gas potential were identified. The description of oil and gas bearing complexes of sedimentary strata is given. It is shown that the prospects for the discovery of new oil and gas fields in the Aldan-Maya oil and gas bearing area were assessed quite high.

The formation of the temperature regime of the Dnieper-Donets depression is determined by the magnitude of the deep heat flux, the structural and tectonic features of the region, the lithology of the sedimentary complex, the occurrence of a thick complex of chemogenic and volcanic rocks in the region, as well as hydrogeological conditions. Based on the analysis of factual geothermal material on wells, obtained during geophysical studies, measurements of temperatures and geothermal gradients, measurements of temperatures during testing of productive horizons, as well as from literary sources, the interpolation of factual geothermal material is carried out. The geothermal parameters characterizing the temperature state of rocks and fluids of different tectonic zones of the Eastern oil- and gas-bearing region have been determined. Schemes of temperature distribution at depths of 2000, 8000 m, average geothermal gradient, depths of isotherms 150 °C, 180 °C are given and regularities of distribution of geothermal parameters are analyzed. The lateral zoning of the geothermal parameters distribution of the region is established, the zones of their maximum, middle and low values are distinguished. Taking into account the peculiarities of the tectonic structure of the Dnieper-Donets graben, as the sedimentary complex is submerged, a gradual replacement of oil by oil and gas fields and then by the gas ones occurs from the northwest to the southeast. Geothermal parameters characterize the geothermal activity of the subsurface and allow to determine its zonation, as well as to predict the phase state of hydrocarbon systems at great depths.

The widely accepted theory of the organic origin of oil and gas accumulations is practically not used to select promising areas and places for exploratory drilling. This makes us pay close attention to the alternative mineral concept of the genesis of these minerals. The purpose of the book is to show how ideas about the deep inorganic origin of accumulations of oil and hydrocarbon gas developed from antiquity to modern times, before the creation of modern mineral theory. The importance of mineral theory for forecasting large oil and gas fields, as well as for optimizing oil and gas geoecology is shown. For a wide range of readers interested in the origin of oil and gas fields, as well as the history of the development of this field of knowledge.
