PROSPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE ANOMALOUS ZONES BAZHENOV FORMATION DEPOSITS OF KHANTY-MANSIYSK AUTONOMOUS OKRUG-YUGRA

Abstract

Russia is one of the recognized world leaders in oil and gas, but exhaustion of traditional deposits required to seek a new resource base commensurate with the scale developed by major oil and gas provinces. As an equivalent alternative is considered a huge potential for the world's largest shale formation - Bazhenov Formation, which is spread along the whole Western Siberia. Sweet, in the case of the creation of new incentives for its development, Russian oil production will lead to a new level. Development of stocks look attractive because Bazhenov formation developed in areas with existing oil infrastructure, directly at the producing fields, so you can rely on lower costs. A unique feature of the Bazhenov Formation is the high oil saturation. Moreover, it is of high quality - light, sweet crude and without other harmful impurities. However, the lack of a clear understanding of the problems of geologists Bazhenov does not allow the government to offer transparent mechanisms to reduce the tax burden on subsoil users who are willing to carry out development only if it will be profitable. This still does not exist a unified classification of unconventional hydrocarbons and confusion of terms often creates illusions about the resource potential and production prospects. Thus, mining companies and investors planning to undertake the development of the Bazhenov Formation, faced with the enormity of uncertainties and risks. The final opinion on the prospects and opportunities of the Bazhenov suite of commercial oil production from this horizon can be formed on the basis of analysis of log data, core analysis, well tests and geomechanical research that will eventually pick up the development of efficient technologies - a kind of golden key, which will allow truly discover the wealth formation. The article focuses on the problems associated with the technology development and the development of the suite. The analysis of the geological structure, lithology and reservoir properties (FES) Bazhenov Formation in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District.
