Abstract. The  information about the geographical position of the exploited fields, their dimensions, productivity of the structural layers, as well as the development of the oil and gas industry in the international economic rela­ti­ons system, which is becoming one of the decisive direc­tions of the independent Azerbaijan’s state policy and the reaching of oil and the gas industry has a high level of development in the 21st century are also was taken in­to consideration in this article.
