An Integral 3D Geo-modeling Helps to Reveal New Exploration Trends - Case Study for the NW Black Sea Basin, Ukraine

摘要

An approach of integral geological and geophysical modeling has been applied to study the NW Black Sea basin (Odessa Gulf) and its local hydrocarbon prospects and leads. It was built an integral spatial geo-model that features peculiarities of deep structure and sedimentary cover of the region and outline distribution of reservoir rocks with enhanced characteristics. This 3D geo-density model was compiled in the result of integral interpretation of all available geo-data (geodynamic studies, seismic and gravity data, and information from deep wells) using original technology developed at STF BIPEKS Ltd.
