SE “Institute of geology and exploration of oil and gas fields”
IGIRNIGM is the main institute of the Ministry of Mining and Geology of the Republic of Uzbekistan for geology, prospecting and exploration of oil and gas fields, carries out fundamental and applied research in the main areas of oil and gas geological science, contributes to the identification of promising sites and the discovery of new deposits and deposits of hydrocarbon raw materials. The Institute was founded in 1959 and over the years of its activity has gained fame as the leading scientific center for oil and gas geology of Uzbekistan.
Directions of scientific activity of the Institute
- study of the geological structure of the subsoil of Uzbekistan, determination of the prospects of oil and gas potential of the territory of the Republic
- assessment of the forecast resources of hydrocarbon raw materials, justification of the priority directions of exploration for oil and gas
- improvement of regional, zonal and local forecasts of the oil and gas potential of the subsurface using modern computer tools, software and databases
- operational scientific support of prospecting and exploration works
- operational interpretation of data from geophysical surveys of wells with the issuance of forecast conclusions on hydrocarbon saturation of reservoirs
- operational calculation, recalculation and final calculation, audit of oil, gas, condensate reserves
- compilation of the Register of hydrocarbon deposits, State balances of hydrocarbon raw materials of the Republic of Uzbekistan
- geological and economic research and assessment of the profitability of exploration for oil and gas
- environmental monitoring of exploration with the development of regulatory documents and environmental measures
- laboratory and analytical studies of core, sludge, reservoir fluids of gas, oil, condensate and reservoir waters), commodity characteristics of oils and condensates
- improvement of equipment and technology for the construction of deep wells for oil and gas, provision of scientific and practical assistance to drilling enterprises
- performing gas hydrodynamic, gas condensate and hydrogeological studies at exploration and production wells
- determination of the oil and gas prospects of investment territories with the development of a geological and economic justification for the phased conduct of geological exploration within their limits
- preparation of Exploration Programs for investment blocks and monitoring the effectiveness of their implementation in the oil and gas regions of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
