Abstract

Computer processing of geological data is widely used to process geological information. Therefore, an assessment of the structures as potential reservoir traps for oil and gas was carried out on the basis of quantitative parameter analysis. This approach made it possible to reasonably confirm certain regularities. To identify these regularities in the relationships between the numerical parameters of complex structures, computer geological and statistical modeling of the studied objects of the Boryslav-Pokuttya zone was carried out using correlation and cluster analysis. In general, correlation analysis allows analyzing the set of determined values and is aimed at identifying and studying the systems that form some values included in this set. Classification of any objects by meaningful groups is carried out by the method of cluster analysis. To model the processes that formed local structures and to determine the patterns of their spread, a large volume of quantitative indicators was processed. On the basis of quantitative indicators, it was possible to evaluate the results of studies of the tectonic stresses and deformations distribution, which will contribute to more reliable determination of reservoir potential for oil and gas. In turn, this will significantly increase the geological effectiveness of oil and gas exploration in the Boryslav-Pokuttya area. The contemporary form of structures and their spatial arrangement result from the long-termimpact of tectonic forces over geological time. Different manifestations of tectonic activity in successive geological epochs leads to specific changes in the structural plan of geological formations, influencing the potential oil and gas content within them (formation, unforming, and re-forming of traps and, accordingly, hydrocarbon reservoirs). The structures of the Boryslav-Pokuttya zone have undergone a complex and lengthy formation process: from the formation of flysch folds to very complex structural forms. This complexity is contributed to the influence of the magnitude and nature of the tectonic forces. The morphological diversity of the structures, can be described by numerical parameters, which can be used as a basis for classifying these structures in the Boryslav-Pokuttya zone.
