The project is oriented on development of a new technology of investigations of traditional and unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs/ The technology will be based on the rock thermal property measurements on core cuttings and non-consolidated rocks that provides the unique information on detailed variations of rock thermal properties along wells drilled without core recovery. The technique application will essentially improve quality and reliability of basin and petroleum system modeling, hydrodynamic modeling of thermal methods of enhanced oil recovery, the data on total organic carbon, geomechanical parameters, other physical properties of formations for more effective exploration, prospecting and development of hydrocarbon fields with essential social and economic profit.
