Comparative Analysis of Oil-Saturated Fractured Reservoirs - Bazhenites Clays of Western Siberia and Khadumites of Eastern Caucasus

Abstract

The rocks of clay natural reservoirs present particular interest. On the one hand, they attract the attention of scientists from the point of view of oil content (they are enriched to a large extent with organic material), on the other hand from the point of view of accumulation of radioactive elements, as it is indicated by high radioactivity. In this regard, the article touches upon the issue of the relation of these factors. On the territory of the Russian Federation, such rocks are represented by the Jurassic bazhenites of Western Siberia and the Oligocene khadumites of the Eastern Caucasus. The article presents the peculiarities of the clay reservoirs of Western Siberia and Eastern Caucasus, a detailed description of the fractures of various generations, and the issues of reservoir capacity. A comparative analysis of the oilsaturated bazhenites of Western Siberia and the khadumites of Eastern Caucasus was carried out. The dependence of reservoir formation on the distribution of radioactive elements in the section
