Key words: Azov Sea, Black Sea, Crimea, hydrocarbon generation and accumulation system, numerical basin modeling, source rocks, geological risks.
According to the results of basin analysis and modeling the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic hydrocarbon generation-accumulative system on the peninsula of Crimea and adjacent waters of the Azov and Black Seas determined the probability of petroleum charge that can provide filling traps in the study area. Potential source rocks sequences projected in the sediments of the transient formation (Paleozoic) and a cover slab (Cretaceous). The studies allowed to identify patterns of distribution of hydrocarbon accumulations and perform forecast oil and gas prospects in the Crimea and adjacent waters of the Azov and Black Seas.
