Investigating the impact of thermobaric conditions on hydrocarbon production in the Southern Caspian basin region
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: One of the determinants of hydrocarbon potential in the Southern Caspian Basin, is the thermobaric conditions of the area.By thermobaric conditions we mean high pressure and temperature conditions that affect hydrocarbon production.In general, these conditions play an important role in achieving high hydrocarbon production and assessing the future of the region.As we know, geological and geophysical aspects are evaluated primarily in structural exploration.It is possible to state that the pressure and temperature changes in the South Caspian Basin during this period, i.e. the thermobaric regime, influenced the formation of hydrocarbon deposits in the field and their location conditions.Oil and gas in the study area is directly linked to gas formation in deep layers under the influence of high thermobaric conditions.The fact that the study area has a complex geological structure as well as rich hydrocarbon reserves is considered as one of the main factors in the study of the area.Thermobaric conditions directly affect the gathering and processing process in hydrocarbon production and also determine the location of the field.Therefore, a change in thermobaric conditions in the Southern Caspian Basin region, i.e. an increase in factors such as temperature and pressure, may increase the migration of hydrocarbons and this process may affect hydrocarbon production.In other words, as we explore deeper layers, it is possible to observe the impact of this process on the discovery of new structures.
