Investigation of reservoir properties of rocks is one of the critical tasks in oil and gas prospect evaluation and in appraisal of hydrocarbon reserves in the proven fields. Current advancement of the oil and gas industry calls for stimulation and improvement of process flows in oil and gas field development. The geological and petrophysical research data are presented for the productive strata of Khamamdag-deniz field of the Baku Archipelago. These data are tabulated together with information on physical properties of rocks in the mentioned fields, their time and space changes, as well as the geological features and spread regularities of reservoir rocks. It is concluded on the expediency of further seismic survey and new deep drilling within certain tectonic blocks of Khamamdag-deniz field and in adjacent areas.
