EVALUATION OF RESERVES OF SHALE OIL USING GEOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS
In the article it’s discussed one of the approaches to evaluation of geological reserves and resources of “shale oil” in sediments of the Domanik type based on use of geochemical data. The Rock-Eval is shown to be the most effective geochemical method of identification of oil-saturated intervals in the section, determination of their thickness and quantitative estimation of their oil content. For determination of the 3D distribution of oil-saturated bodies it’s proposed integration of the Rock-Eval method with investigations of oils and bitumen by one of the methods of reservoir geochemistry. The effectiveness of application of the geochemical methods is demonstrated in the particular case of the West Siberian Bazhenov Formation.
