Abstract

Summary The results of testing in the Caspian region the technology of integrated assessment of the oil and gas prospects of large blocks and local areas using the methods of frequency-resonance processing of satellite images and vertical sounding (scanning) of a cross-section to determine the depths and thicknesses of predicted hydrocarbon accumulations are presented. Demonstration studies were carried out on sites of oil and gas fields location (on onshore and offshore), within areas of detected oil pollution, within a large search block, as well as in a local site in the center of the Caspian Depression. Anomalous responses at the resonant frequencies of oil, gas condensate, and gas were recorded at the survey sites, and the presence of vertical channels of the deep fluids and minerals migration was established. The mobile methods of integrated assessment of oil and gas prospects provide an opportunity to significantly accelerate and optimize the exploration process for hydrocarbon. The proven mobile technology of frequency-resonance processing of satellite images and photographs is recommended for use in various regions of the world for the purpose of preliminary assessment of the oil and gas potential of poorly studied and unexplored search blocks and local areas.
