GEOMECHANICAL MODELING OF DEFORMATION PROCESSES IN SEDIMENTARY ROCK. ESTIMATION OF DEFLECTED MODE AND ITS GEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION

Polokhov V.M., Dovbnich M.M., Soldatenko V.P., Mendriy Ya.V.

On the example of 3D seismic data from one of the Dniepr-Donetsk basin areas it was shown the possibility of complexation of geomechanical modeling and additional rapid analysis of seismic data. This complexation is used for solving problems related to the determination of probable directions of hydrocarbon natural migration, researching of reservoir filter-capacitive characteristics changes, modeling of hydrocarbon traps formation and development in difficult geological conditions, as well as delineation of high fractured zones and prediction of abnormally pressured zones, etc.

Keywords: geomechanics, stress-deformed state, oil and gas geology.
