Abstract
The general characteristics of the theoretical-empirical technique for predicting rocks’ oil-and-gas bearing in wells’ sections developed by us and the methods of its application for increase the efficiency of hydrocarbon exploration and extraction are presented. The technique is built as a system of theoretical and empirical relationships with the involvement of acoustic logging and core research data. Variants of predictive technique have been developed using gamma logging, electric logging and offset data. The program-algorithmic complex for a computer realization of the developed technique is created in the Fortran, C# and Excel software environments. Testing of the technique was carried out on the data of sections of a number of wells for the Lishchyns’ka, Buchachs’ka, Ludyns’ka, Zaluzhans’ka, Zarichnyans’ka, Nyklovyts’ka structures of the Western oil and gas region (WOGR) of Ukraine and reliable predicting results were obtained. Among the directions of the further development of the technique, methods of its application are presented for the assessment of fracturing and the determination of rock types in the layers of wells’ sections, which are important for predicting the oil and gas capacity and for further effective extraction of hydrocarbons. The results of the application of the technique are illustrated on the examples of data for 3- Buchats’ka, 28- Nyklovyts’ka wells and data from the parametric database for rock-collectors of the Western Ukraine.
