Petroleum Geology of Sakhalin Island, Former U.S.S.R.
This report provides a summary of the geology and
petroleum potential of Sakhalin Island and the adjoining offshore
areas of the Soviet Union. Due to project restraints resulting from
time and budget requirements, research has been based primarily
on published information to provide the data necessary for the preparation
of this report.
The first part of this study is an introduction to
the geographic and political setting of the area and to the previous
investigations. General information on the petroleum exploration,
production, transportation, and refining infrastructure is also
provided.
The second section consists of the regional geology
of the area, including its geologic history and tectonic setting.
Each of the prospective petroleum basins, and the major structural
features of Sakhalin Island, are described in the third and fourth
sections, respectively.
The fifth part is a discussion of the stratigraphy
of the study area, with emphasis on the key source beds, reservoir
rocks, and seals. Part six describes several oil and gas field examples.
In the seventh section is an analysis of Sakhalin's
cumulative hydrocarbon production and an assessment of its recoverable
resources, based on published data. The eighth part highlights the
current political, economic, geological, and engineering activities
and the constraints on future production.
The final section offers recommendations as to which
areas of highest hydrocarbon potential warrant detailed investigation.
A bibliography of references cited is also included. Copies of all
references cited are available upon request.
