Comprehensive analysis of geological and geophysical information for the facies depositional environment prediction of Ju2 strata of Tyumen suite
Hydrocarbon reserves within the middle Jurassic deposits are predominantly classified as hard-to-recover. The legislation of the Russian Federation stimulates extraction of this type of reserves by providing tax incentives, which currently make field development more attractive for oil companies. A particular interest is the Ju2 deposits of Tyumen suite because they are considered as productive almost on all explored fields. However, at the moment, the majority of deposits within this formation remain undeveloped. The main reason for this is the failure in prediction of net pay (thickness) and as a consequence mistakes in geological models for drilling production wells. This article is dedicated to the problem of spatial depositional environments prediction of the Ju2 deposits of Tyumen suite. As part of the problem solving, the geological model of studied field has been improved by integrated use of geological and geophysical information on different scales involving cutting-edge technologies in seismic interpretation.
