Geophysical characteristics and structural composition of clay rocks in the terrigenous complex of the southeastern part of the West Siberian oil and gas bearing pro

Abstract

The basic attributes identifying the clay rock composition in the terrigenous complex of the southeastern part of the West-Siberian platform have been determined, based on the correlation of structural composition and geophysical data, including induced potential logging, apparent resistivity, induction logging, radioactive and caliper logging. According to the obtained results it is possible to identify above-mentioned rocks in well logs, even under conditions of limited core samples, their application in well log correlation and back stripping. Key words: geophysical well logging, the West-Siberian oil and gas bearing province, terrigenous complex, clay rocks, back stripping.
