AbstractAbout the AuthorsReferences
The technology for quantitative assessment of hydrocarbon resources of the Black Sea-North Caucasus oil and gas province using the software and technology complex GIS INTEGRO are considered in the article. Quantitative assessment of total initial onshore hydrocarbon resources of the Black Sea-North Caucasus oil and gas province is carried out, based on the GIS-application for the quantitative assessment of hydrocarbon resources, and new geological and geophysical information (the results of geological exploration by VNIGNI (2020–2022)). For the first time, new technological tools have been applied, which is the first step towards automating the entire assessment process and developing automated calculation modules within a unified information platform.
