Abstract

Effective fusion of multiple data, including geographical, geological, geophysical, geochemical and dynamic data for hydrocarbon potential mapping, involves both a fusion algorithm and a convenient modelling platform. In this study, fuzzy logic and a geographical information system (GIS) are used to fuse geological and geophysical interpretations in mapping the gas potential of the Kazakhstan Marsel Territory Carboniferous system based on the assumed gas-accumulation model. Non-linear membership functions are used to transform the input data, while the gamma operator is used to combine the multiple datasets. Finally, the Carboniferous system targets, the Visean (Cv) and Serpukhovian (Csr) units, are mapped. Gas testing validated our results.
