Abstract
The article discusses the geological structure , structural and tectonic features , lithological and stratigraphic characteristics, material composition and conditions of formation of the newly discovered Sherabad bitumen occurrence in Southern Uzbekistan. Bituminous rocks are confined to Paleogene deposits, which are the product of formation of the most widespread oil deposits in the south of the republic. Structurally, the bitumen occurrence is located within the Sherabad-Sarykamysh uplift of the Surkhandarya megasyncline. In the area of the bitumen occurrence, the Paleogene deposits are strongly dislocated and crushed due to the influence of the Sherabad-Sarykamysh reverse-thrust fault, which runs in the sublatitudinal direction along the strike of the Paleogene deposits. The latter are represented by the Upper Paleocene, Lower, Middle and Upper Eocene, the Oligocene is absent. The bitumen occurrence is characterized by a complex structural relationship of the main Mesozoic-Cenozoic oil and gas complexes, and a wide distribution of thrust tectonics. Based on a comprehensive study of the Sherabad bitumen occurrence, the occurrence, formation conditions, and patterns of placement of natural bitumen deposits, as well as their genetic types, were determined. Within the study area, Bitumen manifestations are predominantly oil-bitumen-saturated rocks consisting of malt and asphalt.
