Modeling the Formation Processes of the Oil and Gas Potential of the Vychegda Trough

A. N. Botalov, O. L. Alekseeva

Abstract


The article is devoted to reconstruction of the conditions of oil and gas potential formation in the Vychegda Trough using 2D basin modeling. Currently, the region is very poorly studied that is indicated by the low density of the entire fund of drilled wells and explored regional seismic profiles. However, the Vychegda Trough is considered as a prospective area for new oil and gas fields in the North-East of European Russia. The amount of information accumulated during the entire period of study of the Vychegda Trough makes it possible to conduct a comprehensive study of the processes of oil and gas potential formation and assess the perspectives of oil and gas bearing capacity using a modern basin modeling method.
