It is shown that the evolutionary-catagenetic model for calculating the initial potential hydrocarbon resources can serve as a scientific basis for the separate quantitative prediction of areas of oil-and-gas content. In this case retrospectively evaluated are the scales of generation and accumulation of hydrocarbons in the source rocks during catagenetic evolution of sedimentary basin. The authors propose a method, the results of evaluation of generation and accumulation scales and initial potential oil and gas resources for major oil-and-gas bearing complexes of Dzhebol stage.

New Zealand's scientific institutions have been restructured so as to be more responsive to the needs of the economy. Exploration for and development of oil and gas resources depend heavily on the geological sciences. In New Zealand, these activities are favoured by a comprehensive, open-file database of the results of previous work, and by a historically publicly funded, in-depth knowledge base of the extensive sedimentary basins. This expertise is now only partially funded by government research contracts, and increasingly undertakes contract work in a range of scientific services to the upstream petroleum sector, both in New Zealand and overseas. By aligning government-funded research programmes with the industry's knowledge needs, there is maximum advantage in improving the understanding of the occurrence of oil and gas resources. A Crown Research Institute can serve as an interface between advances in fundamental geological sciences, and the practical needs of the industry. Current publicly funded programmes of the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences include a series of regional basin studies, nearing completion; and multi-disciplinary team studies related to the various elements of the petroleum systems of New Zealand: source rocks and their maturation, migration and entrapment as a function of basin structure and tectonics, and the distribution and configuration of reservoir systems.

Based on pyrolytic data (3 995 samples from 208 wells) organic matter types of Bazhenov Formation are identified in the central part of Western Siberian basin. Zones of kerogen types I, II, III and mixed I-II and II-III are mapped. Content of sulfur, paraffins, resins and asphaltenes, viscosity, density, temperature and gas content in oils from Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous sediments (3 806 oil pools) are mapped. Oil gradations are identified and distributed. The alternative model of zones of kerogen II and IIS types is presented. The established distributions of organic matter types can be used in basin modeling and in assessment of oil-and-gas bearing prospects.

Low Permeability Reservoirs

Ordos Basin is the second largest sedimentary basin in China with very rich oil and gas resources. The exploration targets are typical reservoirs of low permeability. To determine the accumulation mechanism of tight sandstone reservoir, thin section, SEM, numerical calculation were used. The result showed that sandstone should be ultro-low permeability reservoirs with the high content feldspar and lithic arkose or feldspathic litharenite. The reservoir became tight while oil filling, buoyant force is too small to overcome the resistance of capillary force. Therefore, overpressure induced by source rock generation is the accumulation drive force.

Introduction. To date, no unified well-established concepts have been developed regarding the oil and gas geological zoning of the Laptev Sea shelf, as well as other seas of the Eastern Arctic. Different groups of researchers define this region either as an independently promising oil and gas region [7, 8], or as a potential oil and gas basin [1].Aim. To construct spatio-temporal digital models of sedimentary basins and hydrocarbon systems for the main horizons of oil and gas source rocks. A detailed analysis of information on oil and gas content, the gas chemical study of sediments, the characteristics of the component composition and thermal regime of the Laptev sea shelf water area raises the question on the conditions for the formation and evolution of oil and gas source strata within the studied promising oil and gas province. The conducted research made it possible to study the regional trends in oil and gas content, the features of the sedimentary cover formation and the development of hydrocarbon systems in the area under study.Materials and methods. The materials of production reports obtained for individual large objects in the water area were the source of initial information. The basin analysis was based on a model developed by Equinor specialists (Somme et al., 2018) [14—17], covering the time period from the Triassic to Paleogene inclusive and taking into account the plate-tectonic reconstructions. The resulting model included four main sedimentary complexes: pre-Aptian, Apt-Upper Cretaceous, Paleogene, and Neogene-Quaternary.Results. The calculation of numerical models was carried out in two versions with different types of kerogen from the oil and gas source strata corresponding to humic and sapropel organic matter. The results obtained indicated that the key factor controlling the development of hydrocarbon systems was the sinking rate of the basins and the thickness of formed overburden complexes, as well as the geothermal field of the Laptev Sea.Conclusion. The analysis of the results obtained allowed the most promising research objects to be identified. The main foci of hydrocarbon generation in the Paleogene and Neogene complexes and the areas of the most probable accumulation were determined. Significant hydrocarbon potential is expected in the Paleogene clinoforms of the Eastern Arctic.

The prospects of oil and gas content of the Cretaceous-Paleogene deposits of the Middle Amur sedimentary basin within the Pereyaslavsky graben are clarified on the basis of updated data on the tectonic-stratigraphic complexes of the basin using the method of one-dimensional paleotemperature modeling. It is established that throughout the history of formation of the studied part of Pereyaslavsky graben hydrocarbon generation could occur in lower Cretaceous sediments of the Assikaevsky and Alchansky/Strelnikovsky suites. The gas generation conditions for the Assykaevsky formation are still maintained.

Petroleum Resources

The search for unconventional petroleum resources requires a shift in the way the petroleum potential of sedimentary basins is assessed. Gas in source rocks and tight reservoirs has largely been ignored in preference for traditional conventional gas plays. Recent developments in technology now allow for the extraction of gas trapped in low-permeability reservoirs. Assessments of the unconventional petroleum potential of basins, including estimates of the potential resource are required to guide future exploration. The Geological Survey of Queensland is collaborating with Geoscience Australia (GA) and other state agencies to undertake regional assessments of several basins with potential for unconventional petroleum resources in Queensland. The United States Geological Survey methodology for assessment of continuous petroleum resources is being adopted to estimate total undiscovered oil and gas resources. Assessments are being undertaken to evaluate the potential of key formations as shale oil and gas and tight-gas plays. The assessments focus on mapping key attributes including depth, thickness, maturity, total organic carbon (TOC), porosity, gas content, reservoir pressure, mineralogy and regional facies patterns using data from stratigraphic bores and petroleum wells to determine play fairways or areas of greatest potential. More detailed formation evaluation is being undertaken for a regional framework of wells using conventional log suites and mudlogs to calculate porosity, TOC, maturity, oil and gas saturations, and gas composition. HyLoggerTM data is being used to determine its validity to estimate bulk mineralogy (clay-carbonate-quartz) compared with traditional x-ray diffraction methods. These methods are being applied to key formations with unconventional potential in the Georgina and Eromanga basins in Queensland.
