Despite the large number of works devoted to the oil and gas potential of western Ukraine and the Carpathian foredeep, in particular, a number of issues remain problematic or not fully resolved. Such issues include the southwestern border of the Carpathian foredeep under the Carpathian thrust. One of the ways to solve this issue is the interpretation and reinterpretation of geological and geophysical data using modern computer technologies. Modern methods and technologies will also contribute to increasing the fund of structures, as their shortage is a serious problem today. Types of the geophysical investigations carried out in the Western region of Ukraine are described. The perspectives on oil and gas of the tectonic units of the Western part of Ukraine are outlined.
