ABSTRACT: Computer Technology of Quantitative Interwell Correlation of Sediments on the Oil and Gas Fields in the CIS Countries

In the course of studies of the oil and gas fields of the former USSR (including Romashkinskoye, Western Uzbekistan, Orenburg, Odoptu-more, and Karachaganak), methods have been developed to subdivide the rock sequences into sedimentation cycles and subcycles, and to identify washouts and breaks in the section.

An IBM-PC program (MSLA) has been developed that enables subdivision and correlation of the well section to be made according to the multilevel hierarchy model of sequences devised by Guberman. With the help of the MSLA program, this model can be applied to well-correlation problems where there are no preliminary data available such as geological markers, cores, or ditch samples.

The technique has been used in studies of the structure of oil and gas fields involving computer models and as an "expert" system.
