This article presents an assessment of the regional position and clarification of various characteristics of the oil and gas content of the basins of Western Kazakhstan and the Torgai-Syrdarya tectonic belt, which together represent the most active and mobile part of the territory of Kazakhstan. The necessity of further improvement of the existing ideas about the model of the structure and the prospects of oil and gas content of these basins is justified from the standpoint of clarifying the specific features of their oil and gas content and the geochemical environment of the formation of oil and gas deposits in them. Based on this and considering temporary crisis phenomena in the economy and the oil and gas industry, there is a proposal for rational approaches and the organization of geological exploration works in the most promising areas of the South Torgai, North Torgai and Shu-Sarysu basins. A joint analysis of the available theoretical concepts and new data will allow to clarify the history of the geological development of the regions, the possibilities and routes of hydrocarbon migration, the provisions of the modern theory of the origin of the so-called "deep oil", and based on that justify the forecast of oil and gas content in the bowels of Kazakhstan as a whole. Considering this, it is proposed to conduct prospecting work in certain areas of this territory, with an emphasis on clarifying the differences in the nature and characteristics of the oil and gas content of individual basins. The formulation of comprehensive scientific research will contribute to further improvement of ideas about the structure and prospects of oil and gas content of this territory, to the choice of the most rational approach to the development of the estimated substantial forecast potential, and to a deeper scientific study of issues related to the nature of specific features of oil and gas content and the geochemical environment of the formation of oil and gas deposits.
