Shale play prospects in European Russia

Authors: L.A. Anisimov, I.B. Fedotov (VolgogradNIPImorneft Branch of LUKOIL-Engineering LLC in Volgograd, RF, Volgograd), S.V. Deliya (LUKOIL-Nizhnevolzhskneft LLC, RF, Astrakhan), O.I. Kuzilov (LUKOIL-Kaliningradmorneft LLC, Kaliningrad)

Key words: shale, oil, gas, resources.

Prospects of the unconventional resources have been considered for the European Russia. Some principal criteria have been proposed for the resource estimation. Shale maturation, enrichment of SiO2 and CaCO3 create fracturing and increase the shale capacity. Shale decompaction is a result of fault tectonics and this process creates the secondary capacity. The program of resource estimation is proposed
