The possibility of increasing the efficiency of exploration for oil and gas as a result of the implementation of evidence-based theoretical concepts and new technologies of studying unconventional oil and gas facilities - impact structures is analyzed. There is a brief review of the research and production activities to assess oil and gas potential of impact structures of the crystalline basement abroad and in Ukraine. On the basis of repeated analysis of available data it is concluded that the direct exploratory geochemical anomalies above oil and gas deposits have the diffusion nature. This effectively allowed using in the assessment of unconventional sites, including the impact structures, the geological-structural-thermal-atmogeochemical research (STAGR). As an example, there are the mapping results of the study of Obolonskaya impact structure by this method. The satellite survey analysis of Silyanskaya impact structure is also performed and some recommendations for further study of its oil and gas potential are offered. Implementation of author methodical preparations and technologies can not only lead to the discovery of new industrial oil and gas deposits, but also to conduct targeted searches of oil and gas bearing impact structures on the Ukrainian shield, in the Dnieper-Donets Basin and other regions.
