Oil exploration using seismic method: A case study in Miyadin, Diyarbakir

In recent years, the World and our country witnessed a significantin crease in hydrocarbon discoveries. These discoveries are found in regions where it plays an effective role in terms of both economic and political supremacy agains other countries. In our country, hydrocarbon exploration companies (mainly in Turkey Petroleum Corporation) took many active steps together but still for many land and marine areas very serious research and study are needed. This study was performed on the data TPAO have taken on various dates our country located in South Eastern Anatolia Region Diyarbakır region. Since the year 1970, Diyarbakır in the South-Eastern Anatolia region very detailed two-dimensional seismic has been done. In this study geological structure and their extensions are interpreted and it is found that this region is rich in oil reserves. The main purpose of three-dimensional studies is the modelling and calculation of probable oil reserves. Considering this situation in 2013 in Turkey's South-Eastern Anatolia region of Miyadin, district of Diyarbakir province oil field, seismic research team in the TPAO's body carried out seismic studies on site. In this study, first the geology, tectonic sand other parameters of study are used to determine the field features. Vibro –induced three-dimensional seismic data has been collected and passed through a quality control process. Seismic sections are obtained by using various data processing steps of the seismic reflection then a detailed interpretation of the seismic sections is made to determine the oil trap and oil reserves. The recommended depth of Şelmo Formation is 2500m and if it is drilled for oil findings, the results will be economical. 15 barrels of oil a reproduced from drilled bore hole because of increasing rate water (%60-70 rate of water) per a day in 2016 while was being produced 80 barrels of oil with 80 percent of yield (%20 rate of water ) per a day in 2013.
