Morphostructural subdivision of the West Siberian Plain according to formalized attributes with view to local prognosis of oil and gas fields

Abstract

A special method was developed for identification of morphostructural nodes (areas of most dense network of tectonic fissures) and applied to morphostructural subdivision of West Siberia. Already known lagre oil and gas fields appeared to be located within the morphostructural nodes. Local prognosis of oil and gas prospects was made using algorithmic recognition. An example of local prognosis is discussed.
