Study of stratigraphic traps of the Southeastern part of Yevlakh-Agjabedi depression by seismic data

This study explores the identification and characterization of non-anticlinal traps within the southeastern part of the Yevlakh-Agjabedi Depression using advanced seismic exploration techniques. With an emphasis on the application of seismic data, particularly the Common Reflection Point (CRP) and 3D seismic methods, the research focuses on detecting stratigraphic traps formed by lateral and vertical variations in rock properties such as lithology, porosity, and facies. Primary and secondary stratigraphic traps are examined, with examples including stratigraphic traps formed by sedimentation and diagenesis processes. Building upon advancements in seismic exploration, this study applies state-of-the-art techniques to delineate and understand stratigraphic traps within the south-eastern part of the Yevlakh-Agjabedi Depression. By leveraging the CRP and 3D seismic methods, this research aims to overcome traditional limitations and provide a comprehensive analysis of these subtle geological structures. The integration of seismic data with well-logging and drilling data enhances the precision and reliability of trap identification, offering insights that are crucial for effective resource exploration and management. The study concludes that the application of advanced seismic exploration techniques, such as the Common Reflection Point (CRP) and 3D seismic imaging, has significantly improved the detection and characterization of stratigraphic traps in the geologically complex Yevlakh-Agjabedi Depression. By integrating seismic data with well-logging and drilling information, researchers have overcome challenges such as seismic noise and complex trap geometries, leading to more accurate mapping of these non-anticlinal traps. This integration has not only enhanced the identification of subtle variations in lithology and facies but also revealed the substantial hydrocarbon potential of the region. The findings emphasize the critical role of advanced geophysical methods and interdisciplinary approaches in optimizing exploration strategies and resource development in geologically similar settings. Future research should focus on refining seismic interpretation techniques and exploring deeper reservoirs to fully unlock the potential of stratigraphic traps for sustainable resource extraction.
