Abstract

The article presents the results of scientific research on the creation of computer technology for the interpretation of geophysical field data in the exploration of oil-and-gas deposits of Ukraine. The theoretical, informational, technological and methodical foundations for increasing the efficiency of geological exploration work due to the in-depth extraction of information from geological and geophysical data based on their complex interpretation within the framework of new mathematical models have been developed. Three-dimensional gravity and magnetometric modeling can be directed to the detection of densification zones and the tracing of tectonic disturbances in the consolidated crust, without which the existence of hydrocarbon transportation channels is impossible. The practical application of examples of quantitative interpretation of three-component magnetic survey data is given, which will significantly help in the detection and localization of hydrocarbon deposits. Development and expansion of the software complex for the interpretation of magnetotelluric data based on the use of impedance-type boundary conditions. The technique is intended for visualization of MTS data at the stage of qualitative interpretation in parallel with the method of the impedance tensor and Wiese vectors. The absolute advantage of this approach is its independence from the condition of a plane incident wave and the use of all six components of the electromagnetic field (including the Z component of the electric component of the MT field). The integration of statistical and deterministic methods during the inversion of geophysical data will increase the re-liability of the obtained geological results. The relevance and importance of the results presented in the work is determined by the conceptual novelty of methods and tools for forecasting new promising areas, as well as the reassessment of reserves of known deposits.
