Modern integrated interpretation of borehole and seismic data allows solving a wide range of problems based on the construction of reliable conceptual geological models of the studied areas. The total correlation of seismic horizons allows us to consider the studied section in all its details with the maximum use of seismic information and to ensure its objective comparison with well data. This approach is especially important for the purposeful study of the prospects for oil and gas potential, both in structural traps and non-structural traps, on the one hand, and the construction of objective geostatic models, on the other

Most of hydrocarbon resources of Russko-Chaselskiy ridge is associated with reservoirs of Pokur Formation. It is composed generally of alluvial sandstones and shales. Due to genesis Pokur reservoirs have complex structure and localized spread within ancient alluvial plains. Performed integrated interpretation of well and 3D seismic data allowed to estimate new perspective fields and to geometrize oil and gas pulls.

Seismic Characterization

Modern seismic data have become an essential toolkit for studying carbonate platforms and reservoirs in impressive detail. Whilst driven primarily by oil and gas exploration and development, data sharing and collaboration are delivering fundamental geological knowledge on carbonate systems, revealing platform geomorphologies and how their evolution on millennial time scales, as well as kilometric length scales, was forced by long-term eustatic, oceanographic or tectonic factors. Quantitative interrogation of modern seismic attributes in carbonate reservoirs permits flow units and barriers arising from depositional and diagenetic processes to be imaged and extrapolated between wells.This volume reviews the variety of carbonate platform and reservoir characteristics that can be interpreted from modern seismic data, illustrating the benefits of creative interaction between geophysical and carbonate geological experts at all stages of a seismic campaign. Papers cover carbonate exploration, including the uniquely challenging South Atlantic pre-salt reservoirs, seismic modelling of carbonates, and seismic indicators of fluid flow and diagenesis.

The high degree of knowledge of the upper horizons of the sedimentary cover of the Middle and South Caspian depressions, given an insufficient increase in hydrocarbon reserves, leads to the need for a detailed approach to the search for oil and gas deposits in deep-seated sediments (over 6 km). During the geological interpretation of new highly informative seismic data, as well as data of deep drilling and petrological core studies, there were revealed obvious shortcomings in the concepts of the origin and evolution of the Middle and South Caspian depressions. These ideas misinterpret evolution, especially the South Caspian Basin, which is characterized by a number of unique features: very thick sedimentary cover (up to 22 km), extremely high sedimentation rate, low heat flow and reservoir temperatures, abnormally high pore and reservoir pressures, high clay content of the section, etc. The main purpose of the study was to elucidate the regional structure and features of the dissection of the sedimentary cover of the Middle and South Caspian depressions, the conditions of occurrence and distribution of facies and thicknesses of individual complexes of deposits. The paper analyzes the results of some previous studies of the geological structure of the Middle and South Caspian depressions based on the data of deep seismic sounding, seismological and gravimetric observations. We consider the main conclusions of these studies, about the geological structure of the sedimentary complex of the region’s, very outdated and subject to revision. The results of seismic stratigraphic analysis of seismic data allowed the authors to identify new data about the tectonic structure and express a completely different point of view regarding the structure of the sedimentary cover in the region. The work also touches on the issue associated with the tectonics of the region and the alleged subduction zone here.

In order to improve the efficiency of exploration drilling at various greenfield license areas owned by Rosneft Oil Company, Tyumen Petroleum Scientific Center LLC has been actively developing and implementing various innovative technologies in recent years that allow increasing the probability of discovering new hydrocarbon deposits. One of such approaches is the use of different methods based on the principles of fractality of geological objects. The article presents the results of using the fractal analysis method to solve one of the applied problems of oil and gas geology, namely, the correction of the boundaries of facies zones on facies maps, which are the basis for constructing risk maps for the "reservoir". It is shown that the boundaries of the facies zones on facies maps, built mainly on seismic data and a limited amount of materials from exploration drilling, have a large variability. The found statistical relationship between the distribution of the total reservoir thicknesses in different facies zones and the fractal dimension of the traps made it possible to correct facies and risk maps.

Molecular Movement

Salt is one of the most effective agents for trapping oil and gas. As a ductile material it can move and deform surrounding sediments and create traps. However, effective sealing of reservoirs for movement of hydrocarbons along breaching faults or fracture swarms (i.e. macroseepage) is a completely different mechanism than the molecular movement of hydrocarbons through grain boundaries and microfractures as found in microseepage. Forum Exploration chose to evaluate the applicability of passive surface geochemistry for mapping hydrocarbons in their onshore West Gebel El Zeit lease due to difficulties in seismic imaging through salt and anhydrites sequences. Two economic producing wells had been drilled in the lease, but due to compartmentalization and complexity in the area, three dry wells had also been drilled. Target formations included the Kareem Formation at ∼2,700 m and the Rudeis Formation at ∼3,000 m.The geochemical survey encompassed 100 passive geochemical modules. Passive samplers were also deployed around two producing wells and one dry well. Calibration data generated positive thermogenic signatures around the two producing wells in contrast to the background or baseline signature developed around the dry well. The Rudeis Formation calibration signature ranged from ∼nC5 - ∼nC9 while the Kareem Formation calibration signature ranged from ∼nC6 – nC12. This suggested the Rudeis calibration signature was lighter than the Kareem. This correlated with independent API gravity testing on produced oil samples (41o API gravity oil for the Rudeis, 35o API gravity oil for the Kareem).A post-survey well, Fh85-8, was drilled based on combined geochemical and seismic data results. The well was an oil discovery, with initial production of 800 BOPD. The evidence presented in this Gulf of Suez example shows that microseepage can occur through salt sequences. As such, ultrasensitive passive surface geochemical surveys provide a powerful tool for derisking salt plays.
