『Abstract
Most of recent oil- and gas-bearing basins are incorporated in
the group of five belts of oil-and-gas accumulation. They are
confined to continent/ocean transition zones, which existed in
the Cenozoic. Three belts (Tethyan, Gondwanan, and Laurasian)
are latitudinal structures that include continental margins in
the Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic oceans. The other two belts are
elongated in the N-S direction and located in the western and
eastern peripheral parts of the Pacific Ocean. Taken together,
they unite basins with 75 to 80% of oil reserves discovered to
date in our planet.』
