The new feature of giant fields is described. The giga-poly reservoir (‘gigapolyres’) is a poly reservoir combining spatial and fluidodynamic multitude of regional poly reservoirs of various oil and gas plays (OGPs). The most important distinction from other poly reservoirs is the relationship between spatial-temporal and fluidodynamic multitude of regional poly reservoirs of various OGPs. All giant Cretaceous deposits of the Western Siberia and the majority of world giant HC reservoirs possess precisely such quality. The practical significance of new poly reservoir lies in the fact that it can be used as an important feature in the search for largest and giant HC reservoirs in new provinces, for example, in Arctic regions which are hard for development.

Keywords: Western Siberia, hydrocarbon reservoirs, oil and gas complex, petroleum and gas reservoir, ‘polyres’.
