Development of information and software for automation and digitalisation of processing and analysing geological-geophysical data of underground gas storage wells

Purpose: The work aims to develop an information and software system for the operational analysis of geophysical well logging (GWL) data from underground gas storage (UGS) facilities for any period of their operation. In order to increase the efficiency of the detailed analysis of the well logging data accumulated over the entire period of operation of gas storage facilities, it is advisable to store them in electronic form. Design/methodology/approach: Information and software systems have been developed to allow geological and geophysical information accumulation, verification, correction and analysis. Data from the developed databases are used to automate the process of creating graphical geological materials for each well and for UGS facilities. The purpose of the systems is to provide automated solutions to various geological and technological tasks using personal computers by means of timely processing, systematisation, accumulation of initial information, and graphical and documented display of the information. Information and software systems have been developed to display the results of lithological analysis of UGS borehole sections and to correlate UGS borehole sections. Findings: The application of the developed software in production can increase the efficiency of analysis of geological and geophysical information on wells and production horizons, identify possible complications and take timely measures. Research limitations/implications: To solve possible complications in gas storage wells in time, it is necessary to analyse the results of geophysical surveys to predict them. Practical implications: Implementation of the developed information and software system will increase the efficiency of the analysis of geophysical information in order to provide timely solutions to various problems. Originality/value: The application of the developed information and software system will allow the timely analysis of geological and geophysical information to solve problematic issues.
