Currently, oil and gas companies are trying to optimize costs by reducing the volume of drilling, well operations and field seismic surveys. At the same time, despite the depletion of recoverable reserves, the task is to increase the resource base, therefore, the identification of new deposits within the developed fields and the involvement of hard-to-recover reserves in the development can become the most strategic vector of development. The solution that will increase profitability and involve hard-to-recover reserves in the development, find new promising objects in the fields already being developed, may be interpretive processing of seismic data, which implies monitoring and analysis of seismic information by an interpreter geologist at each stage of processing. Close interaction and application of modern approaches to processing and interpretation, obtaining new well information, the emergence of new software solutions, can significantly reduce the degree of uncertainty in the prediction of reservoirs based on seismic data, thereby increasing the efficiency of geological exploration. In this article, using the example of several deposits in Western Siberia, an approach to the interpretation processing of seismic data is developed and presented, which is divided into the main stages of control of processing procedures with conclusions and recommendations of the geologist-interpreter for each of the stages of work. The sequence of works presented in the article, implemented and constantly being improved in the Tyumen branch of SurgutNIPIneft PJSC Surgutneftegaz, allows obtaining more complete geological information and a well-founded geological model of productive deposits of the Tyumen formation in already studied fields.
