The paper considers the directions and strategy for the petroleum reserve replacement in Azerbaijan. Offshore targets include transition zone, Umid-Babek block, as well as lower horizons of Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli. The main onshore target must be sub-thrust zone of the Greater Caucasus piedmont zone, as well as unconventional fields – shales and hybrid reservoirs. Detail study of reservoirs architecture is suggested to detect horizons with residual reserves, as well as reservoir zones with low conductivity in the field under development.
