Abstract


This article is devoted to scientific research into the prospects for the development and identification of oil and gas fields in the Upper, Lower Cretaceous and Paleozoic deposits (using the example of the Western Aral field in the Ustyurt oil and gas region).
The existence of reserves of sulfur-free gas or with a small amount of sulfide impurities in the depths of the country’s earth creates new opportunities for diversification of production and operation with the appropriate infrastructure at planning sites and determines the prospects for further geological exploration work (GRR). The sediments being studied today as an object of study are at a level above those horizons that are exploited on an industrial scale. Taking this into account, the authors of this article have set goals and objectives for conducting scientific research in order to determine the prospects for the development of productive horizons of Cretaceous and Paleozoic deposits of the Bukhara-Khiva and Ustyurt oil and gas regions using the example of the Western Aral field. The main factors for such a statement are fundamental research carried out in previous years, as well as the accumulated experience for this period by leading scientists in this field of research.
Research on sulfur-free gas in the Ustyurt oil and gas region is currently not being studied and scientific and practical works have not been published in the scientific world. In this regard, during the period of rapid growth and application of information and communication technologies and digitalization, contrary to traditional views, it is necessary to switch to predictive planning and conduct scientific research on geological modeling of these processes, using modern software and effectively apply space monitoring methods. This will allow solving multivariate problems with minimal labor and financial costs. When setting goals and determining the prospects for research into sulfur-free gas, industrial enterprises do not show due attention and interest in the scientific developments of research institutes based on new innovative methods and technologies. This article is devoted to scientific research in the field of production of sulfur-free gas at horizons overlying productive ones, that is, Paleozoic and Jurassic deposits. The authors conducted research on the underlying sediments of the Ustyurt oil and gas region using a new innovative methodology.
