Scratch Tests

The article describes the possibility of using the granulometric analysis of rock cuttings formed in controlled core scratching tests to estimate the angle of internal friction.The study object is the Kovykta gas-condensate field (GCF) that occupies a wide area in the southeastern part of the Irkutsk amphitheater of the Siberian platform. This uniquely complex geological structure holds significant reserves of hydrocarbons. Its sedimentary cover is composed of the Vendian – lower Paleozoic and partly Riphean formations. Their total thickness exceeds 6000 m, as estimated from the new seismic survey data [Vakhromeev et al., 2019].The sedimentary cover of the Kovykta GCF has been studied by surface and borehole geophysical techniques, remote sensing and geostructural methods, in combination with the tectonophysical approach [Seminsky et al., 2018] based on drilling data, including standard and special core sampling data.

The article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the geological structure of a complex oil reservoir located in the southeastern part of the Pannonian basin. The concept of the hydrocarbon traps formation is based on the connection with the deep processes of oil and gas formation and phenomena, which lead to the formation of cracks, faults, local positive structures in the interval from the foundation to the upper part of the sedimentary cover. The article shows the significance of deep faults in the basement during the formation of sedimentary cover structures. These processes result in a wide range of oil and gas potential of the Pannonian basin deposits. In studying the specifics of tectonic movements and the features of gravitational deposits (conglobreccia), a tectono-sedimentary approach has been developed that can reduce a number of methodological difficulties in creating geological models and concepts. Recommendations are given on the additional study of adjacent structures in order to detect hydrocarbon deposits on the slopes with protrusions of the crystalline basement. Characteristic features of the geological structure are the local volume of the identified oil and gas deposits, small foci of increased productivity and improved filtration properties of reservoirs. Such features of the uneven distribution of sites of different productivity have a significant impact on the success of prospecting and exploration, the effectiveness of development of oil and gas deposits.

<p>The wide range of anomalies caused by different geological structures from local to regional are studied by the heterogeneous datasets. They usually include the surveys of highly variable scales, resolution and quality. These parameters determine the methodology and technique used in further interpretation. The absence of detail and high quality surveys of geomagnetic field for large areas does not allow the implementation of the system analysis approach to full spectra of anomalies of magnetic field. The possibilities of system analysis using for various scale magnetic surveys to clarify of the tectonic settings and geological structure of the southeastern part of the Yano-Kolyma fold belt are considered. The geological structure of this area was studied earlier by the seismic and magnetotelluric investigations along 2DV regional profile. The tectonic settings are represented by several folded areas and cratons which are covered and knit together by Late Mesozoic bends and volcanic belt. The system interpretation of various scale magnetic surveys allowed us to obtain the geological and tectonic models of this area that include the following principal components: the deep structure of joint zones of different tectonic blocks; the structure and thickness of Paleozoic – Mesozoic deposits of sedimentary cover, crystalline basement and bends; the structure of volcanic belt deposits.</p>

Numerous oil and gas seeps have been known in the East Coast Basin of New Zealand since the last century; however, no commercial discovery has been made in the region. Although a number of wells was drilled earlier, the present phase of systematic geological and geophysical exploration was begun by BP Shell Todd Petroleum Development Limited in 1957 and by 1970 had resulted in the drilling of five wells. These wells indicated the presence of thick marine mudstones and siltstones of Cretaceous through Tertiary age, but failed to find any suitable reservoir beds. This, plus complex geological structure and rugged topography are major problems of the region, particularly in the northern portion.Beaver Exploration subsequently became interested in the area because of the presence of a porous Pliocene coquina limestone (known as the Te Aute Beds) cropping out in the Southern Hawke's Bay region. This unit was considered to be a good drilling target if it occurred adequately sealed in the deeper parts of the basin. In an effort to determine this, Beaver conducted a Seismic Survey with the object of tracing the limestone from outcrop into the subsurface, where hopefully it would be found structurally closed.The survey was successful and three drill sites were chosen. In two of these the drill penetrated the Te Aute Beds which had excellent porosity and permeability but were water filled; in the third well the reservoir was missing. Correlations between the seismic and the drilling results indicated that the Te Aute Beds are probably mappable at least over some parts of the Southern Hawke's Bay region. The problem now is to find these beds in areas where they are less likely to be water flushed.

The results of detailed three-dimensional density modeling of the upper crust of the area located in the southeastern part of the Voronezh crystalline massif at the junction of the Losevsky and Donskoy terranes and, partially, the Vorontsovsky terrane are presented. The resulting model was built based on the inversion of local anomalies of the gravity field into anomalous density values, taking into account all available geological and geophysical information. The field inversion was implemented within the framework of the starting model developed on the basis of the regional density model and corresponding gravitational field of the East European platform lithosphere, generalized information on the density of rocks of the sedimentary cover and crystalline basement, the thickness of the «gravitational» layer obtained by statistical analysis of the anomalous field, and geological data and topography. The resulting model shows density distribution of the crystalline basement rocks to a depth of 16 km, and provides thus fundamentally new information about the geological structure of the upper crust of the area. The model makes it possible to trace geological objects, which are most expressive in terms of density, at deep levels, and allows interpreting the relationship between the Losevsky and Donskoy terranes in the upper-middle crust. The consistency of the model and observed gravitational fields indicates the reliability of the obtained results.

The Geostatistics provides effective tools for the solution of many problems of engineering in which the location in the space of the variable under study is considered, based on definitions of mathematics that provide the necessary foundation for its application. In particular, the Geostatistics are applied in the spatial estimation of the recoverable reserves of mineral deposits. The geostatistical methods that are used in the estimation of mineral deposits are implemented in industrial software and consider the evaluation of the complex geological structure, but these softwares only display the obtained results with an input data and do not exhibit the concepts thatthey use during the process or the methodology of its application. This happens particularly with the Kriging method, which is based on the assumption of strict stationarity, taking into account changes in the mean and local variations, therefore unreliable. In this study is established to review the Kriging method, its application in the estimation of the recoverable reserves of mining deposits and the relevance of the developed model established particularly in mines ofPeru, which use this method as part of the mining exploration for the evaluation of the feasibility of exploitation.

The mid-Paleozoic deformation of lower Paleozoic subgreenschist-facies sediments of the Hazen fold belt in northern Ellesmere Island is represented predominantly by chevron-style folding. Folded multilayers display cleavage fans suggesting synchronous fold and cleavage formation. Bedding-parallel slip indicates a flexural slip mechanism of folding. The geometry of several large-scale anticlinoria has been interpreted as being due to formation of these structures over detachments and thrust ramps.The constant fold geometry, the parallel orientation of faults and large- and small-scale folds, and the axial-plane foliation are related to a single phase of folding with a migrating deformation front in the Hazen fold belt during the mid-Paleozoic orogeny. The minimum amount of shortening in the Hazen and Central Ellesmere fold belts has been estimated from surface geology to increase from 40–50% of the original bed length in the external southeastern part to 50–60% in the more internal northwestern part of the belts.The convergent, thin-skinned nature of the Hazen and Central Ellesmere fold belts indicates that the postulated transpressive plate motions during the accretion of Pearya did not affect the study area.

This article is based on geological surveys combined with finite element and discrete element numerical simulation methods. In-depth analysis of the complex geological structure, deformation characteristics and stress - deformation problems of dumping rock, we clarify different deformation characteristics of deformable landslide inside, at the bottom and the deep part of trailing edge, and demonstrate the deformation will gradually shift from dumping to shear slip. Potential deformation failure mode will be dumped into the whole sliding - tension, which is controlled by the bottom broken belt, and potential deformation is mainly subject to the bottom fault F207-3 of deformed rock and the dumping broken belt at the deep part of trailing edge.

Clay Layers

One of the primary and significant tasks in the construction of geological models of oil and gas reservoirs and development facilities is the problem of correlation of productive layers. This task, as a rule, is reduced to the identification and areal tracing of presumably even-aged oil and gas strata, horizons, and layers characterized by clear boundaries between sand strata and clay layers overlapping them. The practice of work related to modeling the structure of oil and gas horizons, layers and strata indicates that the correlation is not always unambiguous. The ambiguity is especially noticeable when correlating strata characterized by a clinoform structure, one of the examples is the Achimov strata. The most reliable basis for well correlation is GIS materials and lithological features of the interlayers forming individual layers. Clay interlayers and clay strata separating productive deposits provide valuable information when choosing a correlation model in sedimentary sections. These interlayers are characterized by the greatest consistency in area and are most clearly displayed on geophysical diagrams by the nature of the drawings of GIS curves. However, even in this case, i. e. when using the entire accumulated volume of the most diverse lithological and field-geophysical information, the correlation models of the sections turn out to be different and often even opposite. In this paper, the authors had to face a similar situation when correlating the horizon AS11 of the Zapadno-Kamynskoye field. The paper describes a method for clarifying the position of the chops of the productive horizon of oil and gas deposits using a multidimensional deterministic-statistical numerical model of the correlation of sedimentary strata. The proposed approach allows us to uniquely determine the positions of the chops in the conditions of a complex geological structure of the object, high thin-layered heterogeneity. A concrete example shows the advantages of the proposed approach in comparison with the traditional one.
