Fracturing in the high-carbon formation of the northern flank of the South-Tatar arch

Abstract

The problem of studying the Domanik deposits and their reservoir potential is among the most important ones. The discovery of hydrocarbon deposits in similar rocks at various depths, the considerable variability of reservoir properties, and ambiguity in establishing the values of the effective thickness set the task for researchers to estimate them more reliably. The high-carbon kerogenic-carbonate-siliceous stratum that is characterized by the development of differently-oriented systems of fractures is of outstanding interest.
