About This Book
Oil and Gas Exploration: Methods and Application presents a summary of new results related to oil and gas prospecting that are useful for theoreticians and practical professionals. The study of oil and gas complexes and intrusions occurring in sedimentary basins is crucial for identifying the location of oil and gas fields and for making accurate predictions on oil findings.
Volume highlights include:
- Advanced geophysical techniques for achieving hydrocarbon exploration efficiency from beneath the Earth
- Discussion of theoretical and practical approaches in solving problems related to exploring and mining new oil and gas deposits
- New geological concepts for predicting potential hydrocarbon targets
- Novel methods of control of the outworking of these deposits using different geophysical methods, significant for optimization of mining hydrocarbon and carbonate deposits
- Estimation of the degree of outworking of oil and gas deposits, to facilitate the use of space - time monitoring of different kinds of fields
- Analysis of exploration data by an efficient processing system, based on strong methods proven mathematically
Oil and Gas Exploration is a valuable resource for exploration geophysicists, petroleum engineers, geoengineers, petrologists, mining engineers, and economic geologists, who will gain insights into exploring new methods involved in finding natural resources from our Earth.

EXPERIENCE OF REGIONAL PREDICTION OF HYDROCARBON DEPOSITS PROSPECTING IN THE VICINITY OF URAL OIL AND GAS PROVINCES
Abstract
This chapter is devoted to investigating oil and gas content in the Ural region according to the position of the Earthâs crust deep structure. A significant volume of deep seismic soundings was provided in the Ural region by the Bagenov geophysical expedition, by the Institute of Geophysics (Ural Branch of Russian Academy of sciences), and by the Center of Regional Geophysical Research (GEON) during some decades. We have elaborated a new technology of seismic geomapping, based on new model conceptions about the structure of the upper part of lithosphere. We supplement the base of seismic research by the geological data (information about the oil and gas content of the region), the data of super deep boreholes, and area gravimetric data. That allowed us to construct a geologicalâgeophysical faultâblock volume model of the lithosphere (up to 80 km), to provide the tectonic mapping according to these cuts: the surface of ancient crystalloid crust and the main seismic geological surface M. On the basis of the obtained information compared with the data of hydrocarbon deposits location, new depth criteria of forecasting deposits in new regions and objects have been developed. We can assign some examples of positive forecasting. They are the Kueda region (south of Perm region) and the region of the town KhantiâMansyisk.
