Abstract


This paper examines the key structural characteristics of carbonate reservoirs and the formation of organogenic structures genetically related to the marginal barrier-structural facies zone of uncompensated troughs of the Kama-Kinel system of the Volga-Ural oil and gas basin. Post-sedimentation processes, which significantly complicate the internal structure of carbonate rocks, contribute to both the improvement and deterioration of reservoir properties. The final spatial architecture of most organogenic traps is formed as a result of erosion processes, which influence the nature of oil saturation in the traps. A set of methods for identifying and studying carbonate reservoirs is considered.

Key words:

carbonate reservoir, organogenic structure, Kama-Kinel trough system, seismic exploration, natural reservoir, geological model, reefs, paleotectonic reconstructions, dolomitization, sulfation, incision
