Abstract
Three conceptual fundamentals are proposed as a base for estimation of HC resources and simultaneously for analysis and planning of prospecting surveys. The first is the qualitative dynamic approach to recognition of objects for prediction of petroleum potential (reservoirs, cap rocks, traps, trapping areas, and volumes). The second is adaptive support for the oil-geological model of the region to be estimated on the basis of logged information technologies. The third is continuous refinement of HC balance of all kinds on the basis of constant comparison of current local estimates with current results of prospecting surveys. A method of geometrical parameterization is proposed for the Neocomian West Siberian clino-forms. Some implications of the proposed approach are discussed.
