Prospects of hydrocarbon deposits exploration using the method of induced polarization during geomagnetic-variation profiling

Article preview

Traditionally it is believed that the effect of induced polarization is an interfering factor for the measurement of electromagnetic fields and their interpretation during conducting works using magnetotelluric sounding and geomag-netic-variation profiling methods. A new method is proposed for isolating the effects of induced polarization during geomagnetic-variation profiling aimed at searching for hydrocarbon deposits on the basis of phase measurements during the conduct of geomagnetic-variation profiling. The phenomenon of induced polarization is proposed to be used as a special exploration mark for deep-lying hydrocarbon deposits. The traditional method of induced polarization uses artificial field sources, the powers of which are principally insufficient to reach depths of 3-5 km, which leads to the need to search for alternative - natural sources in the form of telluric and magnetotelluric fields. The proposed method makes it possible to detect and interpret the effects of induced polarization from deep-seated oil and gas reservoirs directly, without relying on indirect signs.

Analytical continuation of geophysical fields by continued fractions method

Article preview

The most close to reality geophysical field description is the approximation of the fraction-rational type. In this case the presence of poles in the lower half space corresponds adequately to the denominator zeros. This article contains the theory and algorithm of realization of this conception. The proposed method is called – Continued Fraction Continuation Method.

On the prospect of creating wellbore gravimeters based on film accelerometers

Article preview

Development of downhole gravimeter on modern highly sensitive elements on the basis of film accelerometers, providing high reliability of operation, for solving various geological problems: study of interwell space outside the well and below the well bottom to identify ore bodies; detection of oil targets and washed zones of oil fields in the late stage of development; control of gas injection and consumption in underground gas storages, etc. is proposed. Proceeding from real listed problems, the necessity and opportunity of creation of a downhole gravimeter-gradientmeter with sensitivity (0.05-0.1) - 10” 5 m/sec 2 has been scientifically proved. Such sensitivity is provided at the expense of high sensitivity of sensors, computer introduction of temperature corrections, consideration of device position in a borehole. There are theoretical calculations of possible gravity anomalies and its gradients over objects of regular geometric shape: a sphere, a vertical cylinder, a horizontal formation of finite thickness. The results of the calculations are compared with field observations during the exploration of copper and sulfide deposits and oil and gas fields. Experimental studies of the main units of the borehole gravimeter equipment were performed and their laboratory and bench tests were carried out, which confirmed the correctness of theoretical calculations.
