Abstract

The results of the first scientific work on expediency and methodology of prospecting for hydrocarbons in unconventional reservoirs within Orilska area are described. This work substantiates the methodology and approaches to prospecting for the deposits in unconventional reservoirs, thus increasing the resource base of the country as a whole. On the basis of complex geochemical, lithological, coal-petrographic and palynological research the degree of catagenetic transformations and the quantity of organic substances in sedimentary rocks of Orilska area have been analyzed to assess oil and gas potential connected with unconventional reservoirs. The changes catagenetic transformation of sedimentary rocks are analyzed, zoning their distribution in Dniprovo-Donetskiy basin at different depths are established, as the main criterion in assessing of the hydrocarbon potential area, based on the scientific analysis of laboratory tests to determine the reflectivity of the vitrinite.
