AB: A seismo-stratigraphic and lithological model for the Upper Cretaceous to Eoceve deposits in the Zardob region is developed on the basis of the processing and interpretation of seismic and well data. The seismic profiles are obtained using the seismic reflection technique and the common depth point method. The Upper Cretaceous brachyanticline fold in parallel to the Caucasian mountains is revealed in the seismic sections. The analysis of well data show that the Zardob fold is represented by the Maycop deposits. This fold is delineated by the 4400 m isoline with the horizontal dimensions of 4.3 km x 2.0 km and the height of about 100 m. The Zardob fold is marked by a deep subsidence, and the area of the Upper Cretaceous effusives is overlain by carbonates of the same age. The seismic velocities, lithofacial composition, porosity and productivity of the Upper Cretaceous to Eocene sediments are analyzed in this study of the Zardob region.
