The article presents a study on the establishment of geological and facies conditions for the formation of a sandy-silty-clayey reservoir based on core analysis and linking the information obtained with neighboring areas. Previously used petrophysical relationships were generalized with underlying objects composed of thick monolithic sandstones and did not allow correctly assessing the properties of the reservoir under consideration. The work made it possible to clarify the idea of lithofacies features to substantiate their own petrophysical dependencies, which make it possible to differentiate thin-layered clay reservoirs in the section and determine their properties. The results obtained during the study made it possible to refine the petrophysical model, previously generalized to all the layers of the group. The revision of the boundary values and dependencies helped to justify the increase in reservoir oil reserves and became the basis for subsequent work to increase the profitability of putting the facility into commercial development.
