Heat flow and presence of oil and gas (the Yamal peninsula, Tomsk region)

Abstract

The possibilities of Geothermy as a geophysical method are studied to solve forecast and prospecting problems of Petroleum Geology of the Arctic regions and the Paleozoic of Western Siberia. Deep heat flow of Yamal fields, whose oil and gas potential is associated with the Jurassic-Cretaceous formations, and the fields of Tomsk Region, whose geological section contents deposits in the Paleozoic, is studied. The method of paleotemperature modeling was used to calculate the heat flow density from the base of a sedimentary section (by solving the inverse problem of Geothermy). The schematization and mapping of the heat flow were performed, taking into account experimental determinations of the parameter. Besides, the correlation of heat flow features with the localization of deposits was revealed. The conceptual and factual basis of research includes the tectonosedimentary history of sedimentary cover, the Mesozoic-Cenozoic climatic temperature course and the history of cryogenic processes, as well as lithologic and stratigraphic description of the section, results of well testing, thermometry and vitrinite reflectivity data of 20 deep wells of Yamal and 37 wells of Ostanino group of fields of Tomsk region. It was stated that 80 % of known Yamal deposits correlate with anomalous features of the heat flow. Bovanenkovskoe and Arkticheskoe fields are located in positive anomaly zones. 75 % of fields of Ostanino group relate to anomalous features of the heat flow. It is shown that the fields, which are characterized by existence of commercial deposits in the Paleozoic, are associated with the bright gradient zone of the heat flow. The forecast of commercial inflows in the Paleozoic for Pindzhinskoe, Mirnoe and Rybalnoe fields is given. The correlation between the intensity of naftidogenesis and the lateral inhomogeneity of the deep heat flow is characterized as a probable fundamental pattern for Western Siberia.

Inverse-forward method for heat flow estimation: case study for the Arctic region

“…The map also matches the instrumental heat flow measurements in some locations in the continental Arctic. For example, it agrees with most of the borehole heat flow measurements in the Yamal Peninsula [Isaev et al, 2019], which are about 47 to 62 mW/m 2 . The local GHF minimum in the northern part of the Siberian craton shows the position of another reference site -the Anabar shield, Inverse-forward method for heat flow estimation.…”

Тепловой Поток И Нефтегазоносность Северо-Восточной Части Томской Области

“…Для выполнения исследований используется программное обеспечение «TeploDialog» [16], позволяющее проводить нефтегеологическое моделирование 1D с учетом местного изменения поверхностной температуры в геологическом прошлом. Это программное обеспечение по своим результатам не уступает известным программам бассейнового моделирования, таким как BasinMod, Temis Flow, PetroMod, TECMOD2D [17][18][19][20].…”

Density of Hydrocarbons and Deep Heat Flow of the Territory (Southeast of Western Siberia)

“…По некоторым оценкам, залежи нефти и газа находятся преимущественно в зонах значительных неоднородностей глубинного теплового потока, частным случаем которых являются положительные геотемпературные аномалии [4]. Томская группа геотермиков в результате изучения поля теплового потока Останинской группы месторождений Томской области и п-ва Ямал подтвердила, что месторождения УВ тяготеют к высокоградиентным зонам теплового потока [7].…”
