The catagenesis of Paleozoic deposits of Caspian Depression and its outline tectonic zones is reviewed in the present article. The nature of change of reservoir rocks at large depths and their connection with reservoir pressure have been analyzed. Applications of the methods of modern thermodynamic analysis based on the method of Gibbs and Helmholtz potentials minimization makes it possible to illustrate the essential role of the reservoir fluids in reservoir types formation and anomalously high reservoir pressure.
Key words: flanks of Caspian Depression, catagenesis of reservoirs, abnormal reservoir pressures, minimization of thermodynamic potentials.
