Key words: geologic exploration, drilling, South-Tatar Arch, structure, seismic density, reservoir, velocity anomaly, Kamsko-Kinelsky trough system.
One of the ways to reduce geological risks during exploration and prospecting
is to analyze earlier exploration data covering a large number of oil-bearing
structures, as well as those structures which didn’t prove to be oil-bearing.
This paper reports key reasons for unsuccessful wildcat drilling in South-Tatar
Dome area, presents the results of comparison against successfully drilled
structures and proposes solutions to improve exploration success rate.
