Comprehensive assessment and analysis of the oil and gas potential of Meso-Cenozoic sediments in the North Caucasus

At the present stage, development of oil and gas industry in Russian Federation is impossible without replenishing raw material base, so urgent task to conduct investigations, prospecting evaluation bearing capacity prospects undiscovered areas. The purpose investigations analyze facies thicknesses, choose methodology exploration reservoirs, make a comprehensive assessment based on experimental construct map studied sediment structure. conducted was identify trace zones increased fracturing by qualitative interpretation time seismic sections. Methods for sections, model physical, chemical geochemical criteria developed I.A.Burlakov, surveying correlation analysis were used investigations. A number criteria, established reference materials well-studied areas comparison with results well tests, also used. Structural plan forecast area made; zonal local objects identified. Graphical plotting Eh pH concentrations distribution various indicators allowed identifying possible accumulations starting their detailed survey. Processing means software efficient investigated objects.
