III. Preparation of oil and gas deposits for development and their classification

1. On complexity of geological structure, phase condition of hydrocarbons, conditions of bedding and variability of properties of productive layers such deposits are allocated irrespective of the size of field reserves:

simple structure, connected with the undisturbed or poorly broken structures; their productive layers contain single-phase fluid and are characterized by consistency of thickness and collection properties in the plan and by (coefficient of pishchanistost of at least 0,7 and coefficient of partition of no more 2,6);

complex structure, having one - or two-phase fluid are also characterized by considerable variability of thickness and collection properties of productive layers in the plan and by, lithologic substitutions of collectors low permeable breeds or availability of tectonic violations (coefficient of pishchanistost of less 0,7 and coefficient of partition of more 2,6);

very complex structure of which are characteristic as availability of multiphase fluids, lithologic substitutions, tectonic violations, and unevenness of thickness and collection properties of productive layers.

Gas-oil and oil and gas deposits in which the oil rim is spread by plantar water and in which oil lies in the form of thin (narrow) rims in heterogeneous layers also belong to categories of difficult and very complex structure.

2. Are divided by quantity of the productive horizons (deposits) of the field on one-bedded and multibedded.

3. Are divided by quantity of subjects to mining on:

one-object in which there is only one deposit or all deposits are united in one object of development;

multi-object in which several objects of development are allocated.

4. Depending on condition in entry bedded conditions and structure of the main hydrocarbonic connections in subsoil of the field (deposit) share on:

single-phase: the oil, containing oils and the gas dissolved in it;

gas, containing only gas;

gas-condensate which gas contains condensate;

two-phase: gas-oil in which the main part of the field (deposit) oil (the oil pool with the gas heading) is also formed by oil with dissolved gas and gas (the gas heading) occupies smaller amount; oil and gas in which gas part on amount exceeds oil (gas deposit with oil rim); oil-gas condensate or the gazokondensatonaftov containing oil, gas and condensate.

8. Depending on objectives and condition of study of oil-and-gas content of subsoil allocate three stages of exploration works for oil and gas - regional, search and prospecting which have the separate implementation phases of works.

9. The regional stage includes the following stages of exploration works:

allocation of zones and areas for first-priority studying;

identification of objects (structures);

determination of availability of traps of hydrocarbons and preparation of objects (structures) for deep drilling.

The purpose of regional exploration works is studying of the main patterns of geological structure of decantation basins, assessment of forecast and perspective resources of hydrocarbons of litologo-stratigrafichesky complexes, zones and objects. During regional stage drill basic and parametrical wells.

Main results of regional stage: prospective areas for search drilling are prepared; perspective resources are estimated.

10. The purpose of search works is discovery of the fields of oil and gas or new deposits on earlier found fields to provisional estimate of inventories of hydrocarbons and the choice among them first-priority for further investigation. During search stage drill search wells.

The search stage has one stage - search of fields (deposits) which comes to the end after obtaining in search well at least of one industrial inflow of oil or gas or reasons for hopelessness of carrying out further search works.

Main results of search stage: the field (deposit) of hydrocarbons is found or the results testimonial of inexpediency of further search works are received; it is preposted assessment of the explored reserves registered feasibility of further investigation and opytnopromyshlenny development is determined.

11. The purpose of prospecting works is establishment and assessment of explored reserves of hydrocarbons in the quantity necessary for industrial development, determination of all parameters for creation of the project of industrial development, and also additional exploration of not enough studied sites (blocks) of the fields which are in development. During prospecting stage drill exploratory wells, and also operational (estimative, estimative and operational, delivery, control, special) in implementation process of the OPR projects.

Prospecting works include the following stages:

assessment and preparation of fields (deposits) for development;

additional exploration of fields (deposits).

Main results of prospecting stage: the field of hydrocarbons is prepared for industrial development and its industrial value is established; it is estimated explored reserves of the field and are approved in accordance with the established procedure; it is executed detailed geological and economic assessment (further GEO-1).
