On nonlinearity of petroleum formation

Burshtein

2009

A nonlocal dynamic model of petroleum formation is used to explore possible causes and consequences of the nonlinear behavior of large petroleum systems. As a result of this nonlinearity, migration and accumulation of oil starts only after hydrocarbons in a reservoir reach a threshold amount. Significant differences in the amount of in-place resources in macroscopically similar petroleum systems may be associated with minor random changes in initial conditions.

—We propose and test a method for probabilistic estimation of the scale and structure (distribution of helium concentrations in free gas, accumulations of different sizes, localization zones, and stratigraphic complexes) of helium and helium-containing gas resources. Summarizing the available geological information about the structure of the sedimentary cover and data on the revealed accumulations of helium-containing gases, we have first made probabilistic estimation of the scale and structure of their resources as well as helium resources in the central and southern areas of the Lena–Tunguska province. The forecast results will serve as a reliable basis for geological and economic estimation of helium resources, for long-term planning of gas field development in East Siberia and the Republic of Sakha, and for helium industrialization in these regions.
