Promising sediments and horizons of deposits are also considered based on a detailed analysis of numerous rock samples. Oil and gas bearing objects are especially distinguished by area, as well as possible oil and gas bearing blocks. The main purpose of these studies is to unravel changes in carbonate, porosity and permeability of rocks with depth based on core samples taken from drilled wells in the study area and to identify the factors causing these changes. To do this, using the obtained well data, the dependences of changes in depth of porosity, permeability and carbonate were compiled. As known, with increasing depth, rocks experience compaction. With the depth of changes in porosity, the rocks do not show any regularity, i. e. at some depths, an increase in the porosity of rocks is observed, and at some depths, a decrease, and this occurs in an abrupt manner. In our sections, the critical depths of porosity decrease are observed from 500 m to 1600 m, and the critical depth of porosity increase from 1600 m to 2950 m. In other words, the porosity of reservoirs, with a general gradual decrease in depth, begins to sharply decrease from a depth of 3200 m. In the study of core materials, it was found that the rocks are characterized by good reservoir properties. However, in many of the studied samples, the porosity of the rocks varies within a wide range of 12.8–27.8 %, and the permeability ranges from 0.001x10–15m2 to 120x10–15m2. Changes in petrophysical values are observed in both study areas. The reason for the change in petrophysical values in a wide range at the objects of study is associated with the lithological heterogeneity of the complexes and the occurrence depth of the reservoir.
