Carbonate oil and gas reservoirs in the Russian Federation are present at all stages of field development. Shallow carbonate oil fields were discovered in the Timan-Pechora basin in the 1920s, the giant oil, gas-condensate and gas fields of the Volga Urals region were discovered in the 1940s to 1950s and discoveries continue to be made particularly in the remote regions of Eastern Siberia and the Northern seas.
The focus on much of the field development activity in the Volga Urals basin is on maintaining production and improving ultimate recovery. Nevertheless new concepts in field development of reservoirs with complex pore systems (fractures, karst and mega-karst) are rejuvenating exploration interest in the region. In contrast to the situation in South Western Russia, production from deep carbonate reservoirs in the Timan Pechora basin is relatively recent, and the development of carbonate reservoirs in the Pechora Sea and Eastern Siberia largely in the planning stage. These areas in the North and East of Russia are new frontiers for carbonate field development. The reservoirs in all of these regions contain a variety of fluid types ranging from heavy oils, to gas-condensate and gas. The majority of oils are medium to light, gas can be sour. Pore types are similarly variable and understanding the role of fractures and karst critical to successful field development. The workshop is organized in three sessions focusing on Carbonate Reservoir Characterization, Carbonate Reservoir Management, and Carbonate Reservoir Stimulation and Enhanced Recovery.
