Innovative Technologies for Using Satellite Imagery to Assess the Oil and Gas Potential of the Velichaevsko-Kolodeznoye Field
Introduction: in the capital-intensive chain, the search for a field, its exploration, production, processing, is a huge field for innovative technologies. An important role belongs to energy resources-oil and gas. Russia is one of the world's leading countries in their production and transportation. One of the most effective solutions for obtaining information about the oil and gas content of a field is the analysis of remote sensing data, since the fields are located on areas measured in hundreds of square kilometers, often in hard-to-reach places. Materials and methods of the research: the theoretical basis is the rotational concept of tectogenesis. And the components are represented by the most famous fluidodynamic model of B. A. Sokolov, the little-known geosoliton concept of R.M. Bembel and the concept of the nature of Central type structures (STC) of V.M. Kharchenko. The results of the study and their discussion: on the studied territory, areas with overlays of stretching zones (i.e., the overlap of stcts of the same or different rank) were identified, which forms an interference zone with the maximum possibility of fluid permeability. These areas are the most promising for the formation of brittle traps of various types, which is confirmed by drilling wells, namely, wells located within the selected area near the nodal point have maximum flow rates and open, as a rule, a section with the maximum saturation of reservoirs and the number of floors of oil and gas content. In some cases, this is confirmed by drilling wells and seismic studies on Velichaevskoe-Kolodeznaya square of the Eastern Caucasus. It should be particularly noted that none of the wells drilled hit the nodal point and did not naturally open the formation and the zone of sub-vertical destruction, where the maximum flow rates should be. Conclusions: as a result of the conducted research, it was revealed that the productivity of production wells is spatially related to the zones of sub-vertical destruction and overlapping areas of various sizes of SCT, allocated both from seismic data and from the results of decoding satellite images of various scales.
