Seismogeological model of the terrigenous vendian deposits on the north–eastern slope of the Nepa-Botuoba anteclise

Abstract

A seismogeological model of the junction zone of the Nepa-Botuoba anteclise and the Ygyattinskaya depression was built based on the results of a comprehensive interpretation of deep drilling and seismic data. The position and propagation of regional high-rank faults have been specified, and a model of tectonic faults of the study area has been constructed. All faults of the study area were divided into three classes: those that cut the entire sedimentary cover; developed in the lower part of the sedimentary section, fading in the Cambrian salt pack; complicating the upper post-salt complex of rocks. Criteria for identifying thinning zones were developed and were made use of to identify oil and gas perspective objects within the Talakh, Ulakhan and Kharystan productive horizons.
