Abstract

The problem of obsolescence and irrelevance of the standard classification of drilling wells for the intended purpose and a new interpretation of this classification within the framework of modern reality are considered. It is noted that the search for new ways to obtain information during geological exploration leads to the understanding that drilling some types of wells is already completely impractical. In the current situation, projects should be implemented that, on the one hand, will ensure the solution of the set geological tasks, on the other hand, minimize the costs of drilling wells, reduce industrial and environmental risks, with the unconditional receipt of the entire set of required geological information. The complex of works applied in the waters of the inland seas, for the purpose of prospecting, exploration and development of oil and gas fields, can become an example of rational money savings and the efficiency of geological data collection. Currently, the share of large structural deposits of simple structure is completely insignificant, and there are practically no promising oil and gas-bearing areas on land. Current realities are such that geological exploration works penetrate deep horizons of the Earth's crust with a complex geological structure and cover oil and gas-bearing regions located in remote and remote parts of the land. The complex implemented at sea may well be applicable for such sites and will successfully compensate for anachronistic drilling methods.
