Description
Summary:The relevance of the discussed issue is caused by the necessity to develop the technique for finding and identifying metal compounds migration forms over the boundaries of hydrocarbon deposits on the Earth surface. The existing information on possibility of metal transfer from the level of deposits is often contradictory and it can cast doubt on the possibility of geochemical prospecting of hydrocarbon deposits on the basis of information on metal content in the subsurface horizons. The technique of collection and analysis allows us to study nanoscale metal compounds migrating as a part of gas flow to the Earth surface. It becomes possible to determine the origin of nanoscale metal compounds with the ability to prove the genesis of the deep nature of the substance found on the surface. The main aim of the research is to review and to analyze the existing knowledge on geochemical methods of prospecting for oil and gas; to model a new geochemical method associated with the study of samples on a transmission electron microscope for identifying nanoscale particles. The methods used in the study: geochemistry methods of prospecting and exploration of oil and gas fields, transmission electron microscopy. The results of the research. The authors have reviewed and analyzed the literature on geochemical methods to search for oil and gas deposits and analyzed the patterns of geochemical features and magnetic fields on deposits of the West Siberian oil and gas province. The paper introduces a new prospecting and exploration geochemical and magnetic technique which can help identify nanoscale mineral forms of chemical elements with a transmission electron microscope, in particular find and identify migration metal compounds.
