Regardless of the direction of development and changes in the energy sector, the Worlds economies will rely primarily on natural resources for at least the next 20 years and very likely beyond. Actually, the resources of hydrocarbons in place in comparison with consumption are almost inexhaustible, so the question is only in the cost of production. For this reason, the exploration for new commercial fields that can withstand price volatility over a long period of time will play a critical role. At the same time, one of the most promising areas is the exploration of the new super-deep (more than 6000 m.) oil and gas accumulations. The information presently accumulated by geologists allows a high probability of finding profitable reserves, including liquid hydrocarbons, in ultra-deep horizons that were previously considered non-perspective due to extremely adverse thermobaric conditions. Commercial oil and gas potential of various sedimentary formations in such conditions is established for more than 70 basins around the world. There are large and giant gas, gas condensate, oil and mixed phase-heterogeneous fields, of which more than 1,200 are already being developed. Over the past 10 years, the most significant success has been achieved in the Gulf of Mexico (USA, Mexico), the Tarim and Sichuan basins (China), the South Caspian basin (Azerbaijan, Russia and Kazakhstan), the Santos basin (Brazil), and the Arab basin (Middle East). More than 120 hydrocarbon fields were discovered and most of them have yet to prove their commerciality. Pre Caspian basin is one of the most prospective regions, where deep horizons are poorly explored. For a better understanding of its potential, statistics on 106 clastic and 36 carbonate fields was collected, and 22 Paleozoic basins were considered as analogs. Data from 15084 documents with varying degrees of significance was taken into consideration; and elements of Artificial Intelligence (AI) processing were applied. Their simultaneous interactive analysis allowed to identify several possible analogues for Pre-Caspian basin and to justify the exceptionally high perspectives of its ultra-deep horizons. Many analysts identify three strategic directions for EP activities. The first type includes new perspective horizons in new basins, the second direction is associated with new reservoirs in already known oil and gas basins, and the last, third type includes prospects in already known productive sections of previously explored basins. Pre Caspian basin to some extent, corresponds to all three groups, but mainly to the second and third. Main interest is associated with well-studied Devonian reservoirs on the periphery, rapidly dropping towards the center of the basin, or with almost unexplored to date lower Paleozoic horizons. This article opens a series of publications devoted to the topic of discovery and development of ultra-deep hydrocarbons.

Recent studies show that there are specific problems associated with mixing different types of crude oil. Incompatibility of miscible oils in particular can lead to clogging, sometimes even shutdown of piping systems. One of the reasons that cause the immiscibility of various crude oils is the presence of solid organic substances in the form of precipitated resins and asphaltenes in a mixture of oils. These substances, which are ballasts, often precipitate from a solution of oil mixtures. In order to study the influence of the displacement factor of crude oils on the quality characteristics of oils in laboratory conditions, various samples of oils and their mixtures were studied. It was found that when oil is mixed, nonlinear deviations of the properties of the mixture occur and noticeable anomalies in the change in the quality indicators can be expressed in oil mixtures. In this case, changes in the content of ballasts such as resin and asphaltenes in the mixture do not occur according to the additivity rule. The kinetics of the deposition of various ballasts (resins, asphaltene and paraffins, as well as water, salt and mechanical impurities) in a mixture of incompatible oils was also studied. It was found that the bulk of all ballasts are besieged within 8-10 hours. Studies have shown that, depending on the chemical composition of the oils, the manifestation of incompatibility in mixtures can also be expressed in the intense discharge of various ballasts.

Most of the active fields, which are currently at a mature and/or late stage of development, were identified in the past by focusing on standard anticlinal and fault types of structural traps. Considering that, not many structural traps left undiscovered within the territories with good geological and geophysical coverage and developed infrastructure, there is an increased need to focus on remote regions that require large initial investments to carry out exploration work. As an alternative approach for increasing the resource base and expanding production for nearby developed fields, it is proposed to look for small non-structural traps, satellites of larger structural traps identified using 3D seismic data. These kinds of traps might have low geological risks and will not require large investments. By combining the results of quantitative interpretation of seismic data with geological principles of identifying promising non-structural traps, a database of promising lithological traps was prepared, covering the area of study laterally and encompassing different stratigraphic layers. This integrated approach makes it possible to reduce geological risks when identifying promising non-structural traps. It is important to carry out exploration and development of a group of non-structural traps in synergy with each other in order to increase the investment attractiveness of the project as a whole, due to the small resource potential of each of the objects. Due to the privacy policy, the names of areas, wells, coordinate data, and other similar information is hidden or deliberately changed.

Most of Kazakhstans oil fields are mature ones. However, wells are still drilled in these fields (annually ~ 500 wells in JSC NC KazMunayGas). Well drilling forms a certain well spacing density at the fields. This article is concerned with the influence of well spacing density on the oil recovery factor in channel sandstones. The problem of how well spacing density (WSD) influences oil recovery factor (ORF) is one of the most studied and debated in forecasting oil production levels. In the course of studying existing scientific works on this topic, we understood that there is no uniform function of well spacing density and oil recovery factor. Today, when developing a field, it is relevant to search for new approaches to choose the optimal WSD taking into account all aspects of the geological structure based on hydrodynamic modeling. This article provides verification for the optimal WSD in channel sandstones choosing as an example sector model of horizon 13 of the Ozen field in two stages. During modeling we analyzed the current conditions of field development, and identified WSD with high values. Then a list of highly watered (unprofitable) wells was identified and recommended for shutdown. According to simulation, it is possible to maintain the base level of oil production by shutting off high water cut wells thereby decreasing well spacing density and optimizing fluid production on the remaining stock.
