Prediction and modeling of lithologic oil pools in the Middle Jurassic deposits on basis of geological and geophysical studies

DOI:

Comprehensive studies of oil-bearing Yu2 layer of Middle Jurassic age in the territory of the eastern part of the Vynglorsky basin of Frolovskaya megadepression (Western Siberia) were conducted. Different lithofacies conditions of the horizon formation on basis of paleogeomorfological analysis, confirmed by materials of core samples studies, are stated. An inverse relationship of minimum amplitudes of seismic waves and the effective thicknesses of Yu2 layer is revealed. As a result it had succeeded to discover and trace zones with the most powerful effective thicknesses, to specify contour of the previously known oil field and to define the boundaries of the newly discovered pool, as well as to assess the prospects of the considered territory and to reveal new objects of exploratory and estimating works.

The nature of the Rehbinder’s effect at rocks destruction

DOI:

Studies of the freshly formed surfaces of dielectric minerals, being performed over the past decades, have shown that the dielectric surfaces, resulting at destruction, are not electrically neutral, strong electric fields are generated in the cavities of the crack, that indicated on the greater energy capacity of processes running in the cavity of cracks: the crack can be regarded as a high-energy electrons accelerator. But this phenomenon has not been used for understanding the nature of P.A. Rehbinder’s effect. It is not science, but the practical activity forced drillers to abandon attempts to increase the mechanical drilling speed by the introduction of hardness reducers. The task of the day - getting information from the bottomhole of the drilled well through relaxation currents.

DOI:

The traditional way of large and giant oil and gas fields modeling is the creation and use of as coarse full-scale and detailed sector models. Such an approach, but the benefits have drawbacks: duplication of sector and full-scale models; hindered return of data and knowledge, accumulated in the sector models, to the full models; unnecessary material and labor inputs, etc. The analysis of the problem situation is made. The conclusions are drawn about the need to integrate sector and full-scale models, as well as the need of creation full-scale models with detailedness of sector ones.
