- Abstract:
- The article considers an integrated approach to the study of fault-block tectonics and its influence on petroleum potential in platform sedimentary basins, using the Southern Pre-Urals as an example. The approach combines 2D/3D CDP seismic data, seismic attributes, gravity and magnetic data, remote sensing, geodynamic monitoring, well logging, core and production data. The proposed workflow includes mapping buried faults, refining the basement structure, assessing the stress-strain state and verifying predicted fractured zones using drilling and production information. Special attention is paid to near-fault fractured zones as a factor controlling reservoirs with improved reservoir properties. Quantitative efficiency indicators are treated as calculation and interpretation estimates that require additional calibration using production data. The practical significance of the approach consists in improving the justification of fractured reservoir prediction and fault representation in geological and hydrodynamic models. The results can be used to select areas for detailed study, substantiate the placement of exploration, appraisal and production wells, and refine geological and hydrodynamic reservoir models.
