The following the methodological basis is very important for new theoretical and practice activities of the petroleum industry, especially for exploration business process. The theory development in Earth science fields is part of high priorities of Rosneft Oil Company. Es a result of this corporate special attention, the exploration is currently very successful Rosneft’s activity by discovery of high quality new oil fields and also very efficient using of human and investments sources.

The article contains the explanation of the using the Method of analogy for large geological bodies as a bid depression, an orogen and a foothill area. Also the some terms are described according on the Method’s idea. The proposed concept is illustrated by real examples with similar geological features (geomorphological, genetical and etc.) and based on the process of the geological history identification. Tree postulates are argued.

1. It is possible to find the analogue for any of geological body.

2. Analogy has to be done for elements with similar hierarchical level and identical genesis.

3. It is necessary to do the geological time correlation during the matching process.

These postulates are based on conceptual matching pattern of Caspian and Gulf of Mexico depressions, the Verjoiansko-Kolimsky orogen system (Siberia) and the Canadian Rocky Mountings with foot hills areas, as petroleum basins. Also there is the comparative idea of matching Bagenov (Russia) and Vaca Muerta (Argentina) petroleum mother rock formations. Finally, it was explained the possibility of increasing efficiency of exploration at new areas by identification of the regional structure - analogue with good production results.
