Abstract: In the paper, the geochemical characteristics of more than 60 deposits and outcrops of oil shales in Azerbaijan, related to geological formations of the Cretaceous-Miocene age were considered. Samples of oil shale were taken from the surface outcrops and ejected materials of mud volcanoes. The main goal of the study is to determine the organic geochemical features of oil shales in order to know their role in the formation of hydrocarbons. A comparative analysis of the studied oil shale was performed with foreign countries in which the shale industry has a long history.
Key words: Azerbaijan, oil shale, geochemistry, organic matter, kerogen, hydrocarbon
