DOI 10.1190/segam2020-3425384.1
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

At present time, many large oil and gas fields, discovered back in the 60-70s are at a late stage of development (brownfields). For this reason, there is an urgent issue of searching for the “missed” sweet spots. Our target is a multilayer oil and gas field in Western Kazakhstan, which is unique in reserves. More than 5000 wells have been drilled at this field and provided sufficient information for a detailed study of reservoir rocks in Middle Jurassic deposits. Using data obtained for one productive layer we present the methodology and results of identifying of the prospective objects for further exploitation of the target brownfield.
