Assessment of the Shale Oil Potential of the Lower Tutleim Formation

Abstract

In result of a comprehensive analysis of the geological, geophysical and geochemical data, the lower Tutleim Formation in well №1 was classified as an oil source with the industrial potential for hydrocarbon generation. In order to estimate the resources of shale oil by the volumetric genetic method, the method of reconstruction the Total Organic Carbon content according to the Gamma-Ray data was used. A probabilistic assessment of resources by the Monte-Carlo method was performed with the determination of forecast resources at probability P90, P50 and P10. The conclusion is drawn about the development of a shale oil deposit in the lower Tutleim formation in the context of well №1.
