HELIUM CAPACITY OF THE SUBSOILS OF UKRAINE

Abstract

HELIUM CAPACITY OF THE SUBSOILS OF UKRAINE Purpose. Study of distribution of helium content in hydrocarbon deposits of deposits of Ukraine and their spatial location in oil and gas basins of Ukraine. Methodology. The work used: data from directories on the composition of gases in the fields of Ukraine, MapInfo programs for constructing SQL queries and displaying the results on maps.. Results. According to the directories, a database of deposits of hydrocarbon deposits of Ukraine with helium content in each deposit was created. Spatial mapping of the database of deposits to hydrocarbon deposits has been carried out. Special studies were conducted on the helium content in various types of hydrocarbon deposits. The spatial distribution of the deposits in which helium was determined was studied and their ranking by helium concentration was performed. It was established that the content of helium in the deposits is decreasing in the East-West-South oil and gas basins of Ukraine, and in marine water areas, helium in the deposits of hydrocarbon deposits has not been established. Scientific novelty. For the first time, maps with a ranking of helium content in deposits of Ukraine are given. The number of helium-containing deposits on the territory of Ukraine was analyzed. The prospects of the oil and gas bearing basins of Ukraine for the search for helium-containing deposits have been determined. Practical significance. The established features make it possible to zone the territory of oil and gas-bearing basins according to helium capacity. The main questions for the continuation of scientific and research studies have been determined. Key words: helium, hydrocarbon deposits, deposits, oil and gas basins, database.
