Forecast of Perspective Areas in the Oligocene Deposits Using a Comprehensive Analysis of Geological-Geophysical Data

Based on the integrated analysis of a comprehensive geological and geophysical data lithological and geophysical characteristic of the Oligocene rocks was formed. It is the basis for the forecast of potentially productive interval distribution in the Khadum horizon and Batalpashinsk formation. These intervals are characterized by a low clay content, high brittleness and fracturing. Determination their distribution allows to predict of perspective zones for prospecting and exploration areas. The integrated geological and geophysical analysis approach may be applied to study of unconventional reservoirs within other areas of the North-Caucasian oil and gas province.
