shale gas

Purpose. The objective of this study was to investigate the depositional environments of organic-rich Ediacaran and Silurian strata on the south-western slope of the East-European platform. In particular, the factors facilitating the efficient fossilization of organic matter in marine sediments and which play the key role in black shales formation, are the basic elements of petroleum systems being considered. Methodology.

Purpose. Estimation of gas-shale potential of rocks on the base of experimental researches of core-samples and thermobaric terms determination, that are most favorable for the emission of gaseous hydrocarbons from rocks. Methodology. Research of molecular structure and physical and chemical properties in the organic constituent of shale samples was executed by EPR- and FTIR- spectroscopy methods. As addition to the research basic methods, the results of X-ray fluorescence analysis (XFA) were used.

The aim of the study is to determine the volume of distribution parameters and petrophysical properties of rocks in the unconventional hydrocarbon fields are based 3D-modeling. Used Methodology is related to the analysis of geological and technological parameters and conduct three-dimensional modeling.
