Usage of quantitative indicators for geological and statistical modeling of folded structures

І. Mykhailiv, A. Boiko, H. Zhuchenko, M. Yatsyshyn
Abstract

At present, mathematical methods are becoming a necessary tool for geological research. Computer processing of geological data is widely used in modern methods of studying the oil and gas content of the subsoil assets. Therefore, the description of the structures as possible oil and gas traps has been given via an analysis of their quantitative parameters, which allowed to substantiate certain established patterns. In order to identify patterns in the relationships between the numerical parameters of folded structures, the computer geological and statistical modeling of the studied objects within the Boryslav-Pokutska area using correlation and cluster analysis has been conducted. In general, correlation analysis allows to delve into a set of defined quantities and is aimed at identifying and studying the systems that form some of the quantities included in this set. Classification of any objects by content groups is carried out by the method of cluster analysis. Quantitative indicators can be used to evaluate the results of studies of the distribution of tectonic stresses and deformations, which will contribute to a more reliable prediction of oil and gas presence. In turn, this will significantly increase the geological efficiency of oil and gas exploration in the areas of the Boryslav-Pokutska area of the Pre-Carpathian Foredeep. The structures’ modern shape and their spatial location is a consequence of tectonic forces over a fairly long period of geological time. Different manifestations of tectogenesis activity in different epochs cause certain changes in the structural plan of geological bodies and thus affect their possible oil and gas potential (formation, disintegration and reshaping of traps and, accordingly, deposits). The structures of the Boryslav-Pokutska area have undergone a complex and long path of formation: from consedimental flysch folds to very complex post-consedimental structural forms, which is due to the influence of the magnitude and nature of the application of formative tectonic forces. Under the influence of tectonic forces of different nature, various morphological structural forms have been formed. The structures’ morphological varieties can be described by numerical parameters, which can be used as a basis for the classification of structures of the Boryslav-Pokutska area
