Creation of Basin and Sedimentation Models of the Territory of the Volga-Ural (Perm Krai) and Timan-Pechora Regions

Author details

Abstract

Basin modeling is a reconstruction of geological processes occurring in sedimentary basins using physical and mathematical apparatus, in particular, in the shell of various software. Each sedimentary basin requires an individual approach to the choice of the method for constructing a geological framework and its subsequent filling. This is due to the different tectonic structure of the regions, the stratigraphy of the sedimentary cover, the conditions of sedimentation, the volume and number of oil and gas complexes, the quality of oil and gas source rocks, etc. The choice of initial data and forecasting tools, including additional studies, depends on the level of study and the goals of modeling – sedimentation modeling and palinspastic reconstructions. The limited sample of initial information used in this case significantly affects the final forecast of oil and gas potential both at the qualitative (with a lack of data on new poorly studied territories) and quantitative (in well-studied areas to clarify the resource base within the license area or a new seismic exploration polygon) levels. In the context of the structural features of the Perm Krai, the Komi Republic and the Nenets Autonomous Okrug (Volga-Ural and Timan-Pechora oil and gas provinces), the authors consider the previously obtained experience in creating basin and sedimentation models with the overview of the important characteristics and parameters of three-dimensional models. In addition, the article describes the applied modules and methods for analyzing and processing data arrays using the Python language, which allows optimizing the stage of collecting and analyzing large, regularly updated geological information bases.
