Abstract
The Bazhenov Formation of the Western Siberian oil-and-gas province is currently one of the key objects of potential growth in oil reserves and production. Here we present results of a geochemical study of the Bazhenov Formation according to the methodology developed at Trofimuk Institute of Petroleum Geology and Geophysics, Novosibirsk (IPGG SB RAS) for rocks highly enriched in organic matter. The features of the group and hydrocarbon compositions of the bitumoids that are filling open and closed pores of the Bazhenov Formation rocks from the North-Surgut region were considered. It has been established that most of the naphthides are in a free (phase-segregated) or sorbed state in a closed pore space. The open pores contain the most mobile components of bitumoids, redistributed from closed pores during the primary migration and remained after the secondary migration of naphtides from the Bazhenov Formation to the Berriasian-lower Aptian reservoirs (A and B strata groups). The methodology used in this work allows determining intervals with increased open porosity and oil saturation in the section of the Bazhenov Formation (silicites and carbonates) by the volume of pore space occupied by open-pore bitumoids.
