SUMMARYBased on the results of modeling the generation processes of emigration and accumulation of hydrocarbons reconstructed the history of oil and gas accumulation in the sedimentary cover in the region. Determine the location of possible hydrocarbon generation sources in the sedimentary cover, migration paths, the phase composition of HC, the intensity of hydrocarbon saturation within individual zones and tectonic structures.
The results of studies of hydrocarbon systems of the Eastern and Central Ciscaucasia are shown. The research area covers part of the Scythian platform, namely, the northern side of the Terek-Caspian foredeep, the north-eastern part of the East Kuban depression, the Tersko-Kum depression and the Stavropol arch. Based on the results of the work and basin modelling of hydrocarbons generation, emigration and accumulation processes, the reconstruction of the history of oil and gas formation and oil and gas accumulation in the sedimentary cover of the region was completed. The basin modelling of hydrocarbon formation processes in Central and Eastern Ciscaucasia was carried out using the PetroMod (Schlumberger) program complex. The obtained results made it possible to determine the dynamics of organic substance transformation processes, evolution of oil and gas formation zones, time and expected paths of hydrocarbon migration and phase composition and degree of hydrocarbon saturation of the section. The model reliability was corrected by comparing the values of benchmarks (modern reservoir temperatures measured in wells, with their calculated values obtained as a result of modelling). The location of possible foci of hydrocarbon generation in the sedimentary cover, the migration paths, the phase composition of hydrocarbons, the intensity of hydrocarbon saturation within individual tectonic zones and structures were determined. It has been established that the main foci of hydrocarbon generation in the southern part of the studied region are located in the Chechen depression (Tersko-Caspian deep), on the platform part–in the zone of the Manych deep and Nogai stage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
