The Choice of the Development Method of the Bazhenov Formation Based on the Pyrolysis Data and the Material Balance Method

Two main types of the Bazhenov suite are distinguished, differing by the degree of catagenetic transformation. The first type is common in low-temperature areas and is characterized by weak thermal transformation, and the second, on the contrary, occurs in high-temperature areas exposed to tectono-hydrothermal effects, and therefore the organic matter that is part of the Bazhenov suite is here thermally transformed and metamorphosed to various degrees metamorphosed bitumen. Various ways of developing the Bazhenov suite in low-temperature and high-temperature areas are proposed.
