The reasons for the oil and gas specialization of basins of this class remain largely unclear. Patterns have been identified that could be of decisive importance in this regard. The intracontinental basins are characterized almost exclusively by oil deposits. In the pericontinental basins, the value of gas deposits decreased, and oil increased in accordance with the decrease in the time of their reef laying and deflection (from C3, P-J1, K1 to J5-K12). The differentiation of basins into tectonotypes of “incomplete” and “completed” development, as well as the asynchronous deflection of the latter reflected in their oil and gas specialization, correlate accordingly with the size and age of the Pan-African granulite belts in which the basins were laid. Since these belts were the most active core structures, this pattern can be considered as evidence of the influence of their inherited or reborn deep “energy systems” on the processes of rifting and generation of hydrocarbons. The use of seismography data showed that mainly oil and gas-bearing rift basins are located in areas of less and more heated mantle respectively. An example of the probable influence of Cenozoic island volcanism centers on oil and gas basin systems is given. A comparative analysis of geological and geophysical data, including heat flows, leads to the conclusion that the temperature conditions of hydrocarbon formation in the rift basins of Africa were determined by a combination of deep thermal systems of different scales: regional (continent - ocean), subregional (cow-structural) and local (volcanic centers).</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">В Африке и на ее подводных окраинах расположены осадочные бассейны позднего фанерозоя рифтового происхождения. Причины нефтегазовой специализации бассейнов данного класса остаются во многом неясными. Выявлены закономерности, которые могли иметь в этом отношении определяющее значение. Внутриконтинентальные бассейны характеризуются почти исключительно месторождениями нефти. В периконтинентальных бассейнах значение месторождений газа уменьшалось, а нефти увеличивалось в соответствии с уменьшением времени их рифтового заложения и прогибания (от С3, P-J1, K1 до J5-K12). Дифференциация бассейнов на тектонотипы «незавершенного» и «завершенного» развития, а также асинхронность прогибания вторых, отразившиеся на их нефтегазовой специализации, коррелируются соответственно с размерами и возрастом панафриканских гранулитовых поясов, в которых бассейны заложились. Поскольку эти пояса являлись наиболее активными коровыми структурами, данная закономерность может рассматриваться как свидетельство влияния их унаследованных или возрожденных глубинных «энергосистем» на процессы рифтогенеза и генерации углеводородов. Привлечение данных сейсмотомографии показало, что преимущественно нефтеи газоносные рифтогенные бассейны расположены в областях менее и более разогретой мантии соответственно. Приведен пример вероятного влияния на нефтегазовые системы бассейнов центров кайнозойского островного вулканизма. Сравнительный анализ геолого-геофизических данных, в том числе и по тепловым потокам, приводит к заключению, что температурные условия образования углеводородов в рифтогенных бассейнах Африки определялись сочетанием глубинных тепловых систем разных масштабов: региональных (континент - океан), субрегиональных (коровоструктурных) и локальных (вулканических центров).</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>rift basins</kwd><kwd>late Phanerozoic</kwd><kwd>oil</kwd><kwd>gas</kwd><kwd>specialization</kwd><kwd>rift basins</kwd><kwd>Africa</kwd><kwd>offshore basins</kwd><kwd>granulite belts</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>рифтогенные бассейны</kwd><kwd>поздний фанерозой</kwd><kwd>нефтегазовая специализация</kwd><kwd>рифтовые бассейны</kwd><kwd>Африка</kwd><kwd>офшорные бассейны</kwd><kwd>гранулитовые пояса</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Dolginov EA, Davidenko IV, Stihotvorceva NA.
