HYDROCARBON- ORE FORMATION AND ITS ROLE IN THE FORMATION OF OIL AND ORE DEPOSITS: A CASE STUDY OF THE SYRDARYA SEDIMENTARY BASIN, KAZAKHSTAN
Abstract
The spatial and temporal relationship between petroleum and ore deposits has attracted the attention of scientists since the 1960s, when a connection was determined between oil-gas formation processes and ore-forming processes, which led to the formation of Pb-Zn Mississippi-type deposits, Carlin-type gold deposits, and stratiform copper deposits. These studies concluded that there is a paragenetic relationship between petroleum fluids and ore mineralization. To date, studies concerning the relationship between sedimentary basins in Kazakhstan and ore deposits have not been conducted. In this paper, by presenting examples from global practices demonstrating the close relationship between petroleum and ore deposits, including uranium, copper, and lead-zinc, in various geological basins, we attempt to make a comparative analysis of the world's sedimentary basins with the Syrdarya sedimentary basin in Southern Kazakhstan. The paper discusses the migration patterns of trace elements such as V, Ni, Ba, and REE, and their relationship with the Syrdarya hydrocarbon-bearing basin. It emphasizes the role of petroleum-bearing strata in generating metalliferous solutions and the impact of hypergenic processes on the redistribution of trace elements in oils. The importance of studying the spatial-temporal regularities of hydrocarbon fluid migration and trace element redistribution is emphasized from the perspective of ore formation theory and practical geological prediction.
