Natural Cracking and the Methods of Its Research When Searching for Oil and Gas Deposits (For Example the Southern Areas of the Tyumen Region)

Abstract

Thanks to a comprehensive approach to studying of natural cracking (use of the modern remote and geochemical researches) in the southern regions of Western Siberia (South of Tyumen region), large regional tectonic blocks and depression zones were identified from space and geological-geophysical data. The assessment of their prospects for the detection of hydrocarbon deposits, taking into account the geodynamic and fluidodynamic approaches.
