Popis: The unique volumes of petroleum in a single sedimentary basin indicate that hydrocarbon generation occurred on an extraordinary scale and reflects the formation and rapid development of giant petroleum foci. The genetic basis for these is investigated in this study by evaluating the scales of hydrocarbon generation. The treatment also elucidates some major related theoretical topics, such as the numerical relationships in the generation of dispersed hydrocarbons and the accumulation of reserves throughout the succession and in individual stratigraphic elements, as well as the quantitative evaluation of how geodynamic conditions affect the basin formation. 24 references.
