The present paper describes the DIONISOS software package (Beicip-Technologies), where the reconstruction of the accumulation conditions and facies modeling of sand reservoirs Yu10, Yu9, Yu8, Yu7 and Yu6 of the Tyumenskaya Formation and carbonaceous-clay members acting as fluid seals within the Gerasimovskoye oil and gas condensate field located in the south of the Parabel district of the Tomsk region. Reconstructions of facies environments make it possible to consistently restore conditions and create a general principled model of the accumulation of sandy-argillaceous deposits of the Middle Jurassic PP in a given territory. Polyfacies deposits of the Bajocian are represented by sands of distributaries and stream-mouth bars, underwater slope of delta, above-water and underwater delta plains, argillaceous-carbonaceous sediments of floodplain lakes, bogs, marshes and lagoons, clays formed at the border of the above-water and underwater deltaic plains, silt deposits of above-water and underwater delta plains, prodelta clays. As a result of the 3D facies model construction, it is shown that the subcontinental sedimentary environments of sand reservoirs Yu10–Yu8 are replaced by deltaic and floodplain-lacustrine-boggy ones, and the formation of Yu7–Yu6 reservoirs occurs in conditions of coastal plain, periodically flooded by the sea. In total, 5 lithotypes of sand deposits have been identified, 1 – argillaceous-carbonaceous, 2 – argillaceous and 1 – silty. Computer facies 3D modeling of the sand bodies assemblage (hydrocarbon reservoirs) of the Bajocian age for the Gerasimovskoye oil and gas condensate field has been performed.

The current energetic transition policies reenabled the importance of producing nuclear energy in producing electricity. Uranium is the principal fuel used in nuclear power plants, and mineral deposits containing this element are of strategic importance. The successful development of sandstone uranium deposits benefits from three-dimensional (3D) geophysical characterization of sand bodies in uranium reservoir. To solve this problem, a method based on 3D geostatistical resistivity inversion is adopted. Firstly, we analyze the application of that method to the problem in hand and introduce a workflow for analyzing the data. Secondly, through petro-physical sensitivity analysis, we identify the logging parameters that can characterize sandstone in this context, and we use that as the parameter estimated by the geostatistical inversion outlined herein. Then, the 3D data of inversion representing the sandstone of uranium reservoir is obtained by the 3D geostatistical resistivity inversion, demonstrating an accuracy well within an acceptable level of accuracy. Finally, the 3D data of inversion is applied to 3D spatial characterization of a sand body in uranium reservoir inverting a field dataset. Our method is useful in determining the location of drilling wells for exploration and development of sandstone uranium deposits.
