Abstract
This paper contains information about technologies and results of solving a number of oil geology problems based on data of high-precision gravity measurements in various structural levels of sedimentary complex in the Urals and Volga region. The examples of predicting oil-and-gas bearing structures, undiscovered formations in areas of previously discovered oil fields, areas of increased rock porosity in carbonate complexes, to which non-structural fields may be confined, as well as accumulations of high-viscosity oil (natural bitumen) are provided here. This paper shows that high-precision gravity prospecting and well survey results at the late stage of oil field development allow effectively discovering the features of geological structure of predicted objects and deposits, inclosing them.
