Geofluidodynamic Monitoring - Environmental Principles for Exploration and Development of Siberian Oil and Gas Fields

Nicolay P. Zapivalov

"Geofluidodynamic monitoring" studies the dynamic changes of the open fluid saturated geological system (formations, pools, faults, etc.), including all fluids in the system. The monitoring is done both at the surface and in the well bore and allows the determination of the geological and geophysical state of a field and environment It also allows predictions of production potential, recovery factor, flow directions and filtration gradient, ecologically hazardous phenomena, etc. This will enable producers to create sound technological and ecological developmental procedures.

Aerial photographs and satellite imagery made in the visual and infrared spectra must be used to map areas of ecological stress. Comprehensive studies of electromagnetic anomalies will allow producers to learn the patterns of exogenous processes and their relationship to endogenous processes.

The geofluidodynamic monitoring procedures together with the external monitoring provides control of production in a balanced ecological setting.
