Identification of structural & tectonic features and prospects of oil and gas potential in the northwestern part of Shimali Absheron uplift

Abstract

In this thesis, based on geological and geophysical data from zone of uplift in Northwestern part of Shimali Absheron (Northern Absheron), it was considered clarifying the geological structure involved in the Pliocene section, in particular, the Podkirmaky suite (PK). It was established that, several non-anticline (stratigraphic and tectonically screened) traps that are formed in the traced zones of pinching out of the Podkirmaky formation (PK). As a result of the studies, the reservoir properties of the deposits corresponding to Podkirmaky suite (PK) and the Nadkirmaky sandy suite (NKP) (which are characterized by high NetToGross) were studied. A re interpretation of seismic sections (in time and depth) of past and recent years was carried out, together with well data, and a structural map of Podkirmaky suite (PK) was build. Keywords: uplift zone; seismic exploration; geological structure; productive series (PS); pinch-out zone; non-anticline trap; oil and gas content; seismic section in time and in depth.
