As you know, the Caspian oil and gas megaprovintsiya (NGMP) is regarded as one of the most promising regions in respect of oil and gas. The main promising are poorly studied subsalt Carboniferous-Devonian rock complexes, which in recent decades have been target-oriented exploration. The first results of drilling ultra-deep wells found in different parts of the Caspian syncline able to significantly increase the degree of scrutiny of the bowels and evaluate their resource potential. Regional location of reserves and resources within the Caspian NGMP unevenly. The largest reserves of oil and gas condensate deposits are concentrated in complex subsalt deposits (Astrakhan, West and Central Astrakhan, Tengiz, Orenburg, Kashagan, Karachaganak). In the post-salt complex deposits are open mainly medium and small reserves of the deposit. In addition, the high oil and gas potential associated with the shelf zones of seas, including the Caspian Sea hydrocarbon potential is estimated highly enough, and where during 2000–2012 yy number of new both large and medium-sized reserves of fields including: them. V. Filanovskogo they. Korchagin, "170 km", etc. In total Khvalynskoye within the Astrakhan region, there are about 20 open fields, and only a few of the low developed. This Astrakhan gas condensate, Promyslovka gas, oil and camel Beshkulskoe they. Korchagin, MI. V. Filanovskogo. The remaining fields are either under investigation or their stocks are passive (ie not used for more than 5 years from the date of calculation of reserves). In this paper, the dynamics of the structure of the reserves and resources of coastal land area of Astrakhan sector Caspian provinces and adjacent waters of the Caspian Sea. Ranging of fields to quantify the reserves. The dynamics of reserves, resources and production of hydrocarbons and the prospects of increasing the mineral resource base of the Astrakhan region.

Key words: explored and commercial reserves,the initial total resources,production,field,oil,natural gas liquids
