Introduction. The subject of the study of this work is the deposits of the anomalous section of the Bazhenov formation (ASB) of Western Siberia, the disturbed occurrence of which was recorded by 2D, 3D seismic exploration and borehole data at many fields of the Frolov oil and gas region. The research area unites the company’s assets in the KhMAO and the Tyumen region, which are part of the large hydrocarbon cluster “ZIMA”. Aim. In order to typify various complexes of rocks of the Bazhenov formation and further localization of deposits, a comprehensive core analysis, GIS and seismic studies were performed. Materials and methods. According to the results of lithological study of the core and petrophysical interpretation of logging diagrams, have been identified various types of rocks in the interval of the Bazhenov formation. According to the results of the interpretation of the seismic survey materials, contoured zones that differ in the wave pattern by different coherence of the axes of common phase. The revealed differences in seismic sections compared with borehole data and geological bodies mapped based on the obtained patterns. Results. Based on a comprehensive interpretation of the core, GIS and seismic studies, established the zonality of the distribution of various types of deposits of the Bazhenov formation, the relationship of the development of ASB zones with the introduction of Early Cretaceous sedimentary bodies and showed the introduction of detrital material from the overlying rocks. Conclusions. The authors of the article conclude that the development of anomalous sections of the Bazhenov formation involves several stages of the introduction of landslide bodies of overlying rocks, according to the gradation of Neocomian clinocyclites in the north-west direction. Within the study area, mapped three large landslide bodies in the Bazhenov formation interval, each of which was formed an internal zonality and because of the introduction of rocks from the overlying interval.

Hydrocarbon exploration has resulted in the discovery of a variety of oil and gas accumulations mainly in Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous intervals. However, the distribution of the different petroleum system elements including Jurassic and Triassic intervals is poorly determined, but required for improved understanding of the complex charge history, as indicated by the variety of hydrocarbon types encountered in the basin. The new WesternGeco multiclient 3D seismic survey extends to the edges of the basin to give a comprehensive picture. Raw hydrophone data were delivered from the vessel as acquisition progressed to begin the near-surface model building. The model building consisted of two major stages: first, using full waveform inversion (FWI) to derive the near-surface velocity field; and, second, common image point (CIP) tomography to update the deeper section beyond the FWI illumination zone. As illustrated herein, various stages of processing and imaging provided a cleaner and crisper dataset across the record length, allowing (1) detailed picking of the events within the entire Mesozoic (Cretaceous–Triassic) section allowing key events to be interpreted and correlated across the area and (2) accurate investigation of the complexity of different aged fault networks and their relationships across the full Exmouth Sub-basin for the first time. In summary, this survey provides a detailed insight into the deeper basin architecture of the Exmouth Sub-basin. The seamless volume imaged to depth allows accurate mapping which is critical to unravel the complex evolutionary history in a basin with proven and significant remaining hydrocarbon potential.

In June 1991 a flow of 4 560 barrels of 19° API oil per day, from a depth of 600 m, heralded the discovery of a new hydrocarbon trend along the eastern margin of the Dampier Sub-basin on the North West Shelf of Australia. Wandoo–1 recovered oil and gas from lower Cretaceous sands associated with the M.australis dinoflagellate zone (Barremian), and gas from lower Jurassic Aalenian sands.The main reservoir at Wandoo is the M. australis Sandstone Member of the Muderong Shale. This is interpreted to be a shelfal shoal sand deposited in a minor regression phase during the regional transgression of the Muderong Shale. This reservoir is split into two main lithotypes, a glauconitic subarkose to subarenite, and an overlying greensand. Oil and gas have been recovered from both units, which are considered contiguous for reservoir definition. General reservoir parameters are exceptional. Since the initial discovery a 3D seismic survey has been acquired and appraisal drilling has proven approximately 250 MMSTBOIP.The unusual features of the field necessitated innovative exploration techniques and the need for a strong appraisal program. These techniques included a six streamer, high resolution, three dimensional seismic survey and its associated processing; development of methods to recover and preserve core in extremely unconsolidated sediments; use of non destructive core analysis methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance; and petrophysical analysis that incorporates the resistivity suppression problems of glauconite. Without core a very pessimistic view would have been taken of the M. australis Sandstone reservoir.The Wandoo discovery is on an exciting new trend previously overlooked due to the shallowness of reservoirs, lack of locally recognised source rocks and the dominance of other oil and gas trends in the Dampier Sub-basin and Barrow Sub-basin to the south.

Predicting the mineralogical composition of shales is crucial for drilling operations related to hydrocarbon exploration/production as well as for the assessment of their sealing capacity as hydrocarbon or CO2 barriers. For example, hydrocarbon exploration in the Northern Carnarvon Basin, North-West Shelf, Australia is hindered by the presence of a thick (up to 1 km) smectite-rich shale seal that spreads regionally. Complex structures of the channelised oil and gas fields in the area make it necessary to drill deviated wells through that seal. The maximum deviation angle at which successful drilling is possible depends strongly on the clay mineralogy and, in particular, on the smectite content in the shale. Here, we introduce a novel workflow combining seismic data, well logs and laboratory measurements to infer shale composition at the reservoir scale. It is applied to the Duyfken 3D seismic survey in the central part of the Northern Carnarvon Basin. Interpretation results are verified against the laboratory X-ray diffraction measurements from the test well that was not used for the interpretation. The results match the test data well within the determined uncertainty bounds.

Fracture Properties

Although only contributes few to the total oil and gas production, fractured basement reservoir is one of the important unconventional reservoirs in Indonesia. It was estimated that the gas reserve in basement in South Sumatra is about 6 TCF (trillion cubic feet). Most of the existing geophysical methods is not intended to explore events within the basement. In fact, majority of basement reservoir discovery was coincident. Despite its significant contribution to Indonesia’s gas production, the exploration success story in the fractured basement play is still poorly documented. The challenges and difficulties in their characterization are higher than the conventional reservoir. This study presents an integrated geological and geophysical approach to improve the outcome of seismic imaging of the fractured basement reservoir. A comprehensive geological study and geophysical modelling were conducted to provide an efficient strategy for designing an optimum seismic survey in imaging the fractures within the basement. Both surface and subsurface data were thoroughly analyzed to yield a reliable representation of the subsurface fracture model at basement level. Outcrop sample analysis combined with aerial remote sensing analysis were performed as input to digital outcrop modelling. The modelling was intended to provide information about fracture orientation, length, and density. This will provide a fracture property in the surface which is related to the fracture properties in subsurface. The resulting fracture properties was then used as an input to evaluate the seismic wave response during its propagation in the reservoir. Seismic modelling has been done using a 2D finite-difference full wavefield approach in a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) accelerated computing system. We observe how fracture properties affect the propagating seismic wavefield. Wave scattering is observed more prominently around the fracture tip when the fracture plane is orthogonal to wavefield direction.

Seismoacoustic entropy analysis (SAE-analysis) and the method of frequency compositions (MFC) are methods of seismic exploration aimed at solving problems of direct search for hydrocarbons based on the results of seismic exploration in promising areas. Both methods use the seismoacoustic response of a hydrocarbon deposit when interacting with the incident wave front as a search criterion. The location of the deposit is determined through dynamic processing and statistical analysis of the spectral characteristics of the wave field. The article presents the results of the forecast of oil saturation by the methods of MFC and SAE-analysis on the territory of Kazakhstan.

Geochemical Survey

Abstract Geochemical survey of hydrocarbons (HC) all over the world is a reliable tool of the complex of geological exploration, which allows to localize hydrocarbon saturation in structures exposed by seismic exploration, as well as to identify non-structural deposits. In 2011, a marine geochemical survey of the sorbed gases of bottom sediments was carried out on the shelf section of the northwest of Sakhalin Island. Based on the results of geochemical studies, 12 maps of the distribution of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases in the work area and 7 maps of the distribution of metals in bottom sediments were constructed. Promising areas were distinguished by anomalies with the maximum content of parameters. The research area is characterized by a complex structure, located within the Baikal synclinal zone of the North Sakhalin oil and gas basin, which is part of the rift system of the Cenozoic sedimentary basins the Sea of Okhotsk. In 2019, the authors began to re-process and reinterpret the data in order to clarify the results. The work was based on modern theoretical foundations and methodological approaches of oil and gas prospecting geochemistry. The interpretation of the results was carried out on the basis of the model of interpretation of geochemical anomalies developed by the authors. Maps of anomalies were constructed according to 11 geochemical criteria and two geological and geochemical sections. The complex interpretation of geological and geochemical data was carried out taking into account the results of seismic exploration and drilling in a single project. According to the results of the complex interpretation, 6 promising sites were identified, which are ranked according to the degree of prospects.
