N2 - The article discusses modern methods of quantitative assessment of the elements of hydrocarbon resource structure in large oil and gas (petroleum) basins. The assessment is based on the law of mass distribution of hydrocarbon accumulations, i.e., the truncated Pareto distribution. The procedure developed is used for: estimation of the truncated Pareto distribution parameters and cumulative hydrocarbon volumes concentrated in pools, prediction of their number and size distribution and total resources within each size-class interval; simulation of spatial distributions of hydrocarbon accumulations with transformation of a population of HC pools into a population of fields; prediction of the number and size-class distribution of total HC resources in pools and fields, and fields distribution by the number of HC pools. The involved analytical approach based on the simulation mathematical modeling is described.
