Prediction of fracture intensity of carbonates based on the results of paleostress estimation by fault kinematic analysis based on the 3D seismic data (Kuyumba Oil Field)

Abstract

The approach of prediction of fracture intensity of low permeability rocks is presented based on slip and dilation tendency analyses. The input data are faults kinematics data and the stress components that regulate their formation. As an example, data obtained from the Riphean complex of the Kuyumba oilfield and the concentrators of fractured oil reservoirs in the investigated region, is examined. Refs 19. Figs 5. Table 1.
