METHODOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTING AN INTEGRATIVE LOGICAL-STRUCTURAL MODEL OF TYPIZATION OF HYDROCARBON TRAPS

Abstract

The article highlights the current problem of improving methodological approaches to building concepts of hydrocarbon traps, which is critically important in modern conditions of increasing requirements for the efficiency of geological exploration work. The relevance of the study is due to the need to create a unified scientific basis for typifying traps, capable of reflecting complex spatio-temporal changes in the geological environment, as well as integrating the achievements of Ukrainian and world science. Existing approaches to classifying traps – structural- tectonic and lithological-stratigraphic – turned out to be limited in the context of the dynamics of geological systems and do not provide full consideration of evolutionary processes.The aim of the work is a systematic analysis of modern methodological principles for building concepts of hydrocarbon traps and the development of a universal approach that would combine the key parameters of their formation, genesis, structural stability and tightness. To achieve the set goal, a set of interdisciplinary methods was used: comparative analysis of scientific sources, geodynamic and stratigraphic modeling, logical-structural generalization and elements of basin analysis.The results of the study allowed us to identify the main methodological approaches to the typification of traps, establish their application limits, and also propose a new integral concept based on the principles of retrospective analysis and spatio-temporal evolution of the geological environment. A logical-structural, integrative model was developed that combines data on the geodynamic regime, stratigraphic position, lithological characteristics, degree of tectonic processing and sealing. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the theoretical substantiation of the principle of a dynamic approach to the classification of hydrocarbon traps, which allows us to take into account not only morphological features, but also their variability in time. The practical significance of the results lies in the possibility of increasing the efficiency of exploration work, optimizing the forecasting of oil and gas prospects, and reducing geological risks in complex regions.
