Key words: Sea of Azov, Crimea, Petroleum Systems, Transitional complex, basin modeling, source rocks, geological risks

Crimea's possible pods of active source rocks able to fill traps, located at west part of Sea of Azov, have been detected based on basin modeling. Paleozoic and Cretaceous deposits are expected to be source rocks. Regularity of oil and gas accumulation and prospects of Sea of Azov were studied as result of the investigations.
