Abstract
Maikop series , in age upper-Oligocene to middle Miocene in Republic of Azerbaidjan (western Caspian<br>sea) and Caspian part its is petroleum source rock.So,considering interpret of results gained from<br>correlation between the Maikop series and the Miocene sediments in southern Caspian sea(Iranian<br>side),determined these sediments as probable petroleum source rock.Recent geochemical studies by<br>Research Center Oil Industry of Iran,reveald that Miocene sediments in southern Caspian sea(Iranian<br>side) can generate 5-10 milliard oil barrel.Therefore,in this research,Alamdeh-Galanderud and Nudeh-<br>Takam sections were selected and biostratigraphy studies with consider bivalves and gastropods were<br>done.In conclusion four conditions to form oil and gas are mentioned.
