On the basis of a comprehensive analysis of various geophysical studies, when assessing the prospects for the petroleum bearing Paleozoic-Mesozoic strata, a pattern recognition technique was used. The contours of 24 hydrocarbon accumulations identified in the interval of different stratigraphic levels participated as reference objects. The selection of areas similar to the standards was carried out according to three groups of data – the results of the analysis of potential area, the structural factor and the data of remote sensing of the Earth. As a result, integrated maps of oil and gas potential prospects were compiled, on which prospective objects identified earlier on the basis of 2D, 3D seismic data were placed.
