In order to assess the prospects for oil and gas potential, the reservoir properties of Mezozoy-Kaynazoic sediments, formed in various geological conditions of the structures of Yalama, Khudat and Siazan monocline, have been studied. The results of the analysis are summarized in tables reflecting the physical and reservoir properties of various types of rocks. On the basis of petrophysical analysis for reservoirs of various lithological types, regularities have been established in changes in density, carbonate content, porosity and permeability of rocks, as well as in the propagation velocity of ultrasonic waves. It was found that changes in reservoir properties of rocks over the area are mainly associated with lithogenesis conditions, with heterogeneity of the lithological composition of sedimentary complexes, with the depth of occurrence of rocks, as well as with the peculiarity of the development of local uplifts. When predicting oil and gas content in deep-seated strata of the territory under consideration, along with exploration and geophysical methods, it is also recommended to use the results of changes in the filtration-volume characteristics of rocks, as well as the nature of the change in the propagation velocity of seismic waves with depth. Keywords: lithological facies; density; porosity; permeability; carbonate content; seismic P-wave velocity.
