The need to maintain the level of production and an acceptable cost of developing oil and gas fields forces us to rely primarily on the existing reserve, that is, to maximize the potential of traditional oil and gas production regions and adjacent territories - the marginal zones. At the same time, it is necessary to develop unexplored sedimentary complexes at depths of more than 3-5 km. Against this background, it is necessary to highlight a special phenomenon that increases the oil and gas potential of the subsoil associated with trap magmatism. The insufficient level of knowledge of the subsoil makes it possible to predict the discovery of large oil and gas deposits of the traditional type, which will ensure their high profitabilitye. Keywords: trap magmatism; profitability of oil and gas resources; marginal zones; hornfels; transformation of carbonates; rocks of trap formations; regional seals.
