Development of technologies, growth of trends of reducing impact on environment and challenging tasks, which oil and gas producers face, make introduction of new technologies in seismic exploration field unavoidable. As a key tool of prospecting, exploration and reconnaissance of hydrocarbons, seismic exploration is usually restricted by terrain conditions. Urban, wooded and marshy lands, protected areas, river valleys, mountain areas often make seismic exploration impossible or signifi cantly impact its quality and efficiency.   One of the modern trends enabling resolution of the issues related to impact on environment is to switch to cable-free registration systems (wireless seismic), so called low impact seismic. Due to the use of cable-free equipment, this new technology makes it possible to reduce impact on environment during field works, as equipment is delivered to the place of installation with no special heavy machinery involved.  On the other hand, cable-free systems of seismic acquisition allow to resolve complex tasks of exploration and appraisal studies. Firstly, carry out exploration of hard-to-reach territories, including protected environmental areas, which until now remain unexplored or slightly explored. Managing seismic cables in such conditions is very complicated or impossible. Cable-free technologies allow easily resolving such issues due to both minimum impact on environment and simple and quick placement of receivers. Flexibility and easy scaling of wireless seismic adds to its advantages versus conventional survey. Kilometres of wires are not needed, which allows to easily increase the number of receiver channels and conduct high-density full azimuth seismic survey with single seismic receivers at deep structures, thus, significantly increasing quality of the data received.  The pilot project successfully completed at Khoroshivska area by joint efforts of DTEK Oil&Gas LLC and LLC Denimex Geo LLC confi rms in full advantages of wireless solutions revealing new opportunities for the use of seismic exploration at areas previously hard to reach and allowing implementation of high density acquisition projects.

The researches shows that the explicit account of the seismic waves velocities anisotropy is preferable comparing to the traditional one, the meaning of which became clear due to the authors’ publications. The main advantages of an explicit account of seismic anisotropy are:  the usage of a depth scale, not the time scale, in seismic data processing and interpretation;  depth-velocity modeling without using the technologies of common midpoint method, thus, preventing from a number of errors, which is highly important for 3-D seismic;  possibility to use technology of seismic images anisotropic decomposition. Dnieper-Donetsk depression seismic data processing results convincingly demonstrate the advantages of the seismic anisotropy explicit account for seismic imaging of anisotropic media.

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.

Exploration And Development

The success of drilling oil and gas wells is largely determined by the presence of high HC-content and permeability of the reservoir at the point of penetration. For a reliable study of these characteristics should be used microseismic emission and the scattered reflection waves. For their observation, selection and positioning in geomedium we developed technology “Seismic Location of Emission Centers” and “Side-View Seismic Location”, which significantly extend the range of problems solved during seismic exploration of hydrocarbon deposits. Examples of application of these technologies in the exploration and development of hydrocarbon deposits are provided.

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.
