Methodology of study of oil-bitumen perspective territories and objects

Abstract

The goal of the research is development of methodological basis for regional and local forecasting and scientific evidence of top-priority directions of exploration works taking into account national and international theory and practice of effective complex management of native bitumen. The developed theoretical ideas and methodologies of crustal platforms studies as a whole are presented as a new scientific approach to the solution of the problem of management of non-traditional hydrocarbon sources, that is being based on system analysis: from geological study, prediction, prospecting and exploration to the application of geophysical methods while making native bitumen management preparations. The methodology presented in the paper is considered to be an effective technique of evaluation of perspectives of oil-bitumen-rich shallow horizons of sedimentary cover of frontier territories.
