Abstract
Introduction. Hydrocarbon reserves of the Bazhenov suite are classified as hard to recover, and due to the depletion of conventional targets, the suite is the most significant for the development of mature fields.
Aim. The efficient development of the Bazhenov suite requires unified reliable algorithms for identifying net reservoir intervals, determining volumetric parameters based on core and well logging data, as well as for predicting promising areas in plan.
Materials and methods. An integrated approach combining laboratory analysis of core and well logging surveys made it possible to assess prospects of the Bazhenov suite.
Results. The most promising intervals (Packs 1 and 2) with high fragility, which is important for hydraulic fracturing, and low content of organic matter have been identified. The function of laboratory data (nano-permeability) and calculated geophysical parameters (fragility, organic matter content) has been established, which made it possible to identify zones of oil inflows.
Conclusion. The developed algorithms and methods for predicting inflow intervals have made it possible to more accurately identify areas with high potential for oil production, which is crucial for the development of complex targets.
