Annotation:

The factors influencing the formation of deposits of the new Saasil deposit within block 10 (licensed territory with Russian participation) are considered i.e. the history of the development of the southern part of the Gulf of Mexico and the model of the geological structure of the object in the structure of salt diapirism. The analysis of seismic materials of various years and modifications, the lithological and facies characteristics of the uncovered Pliocene-Oligocene deposits, as well as comparison with adjacent analog deposits allowed us to determine the parameters of the deposits in order to identify priority search objects among the prepared objects and assess the raw material base of the expected deposits.
