Abstract 

The software has been developed to investigate the geological structure of underground gas storage (UGS), enhance the efficiency of geological and geophysical information analysis, and automate the correlation of well sections. Using the software in production improves the efficiency with which geophysical survey results are analysed, enables identification of possible complications in well and UGS operations, facilitates timely decision-making, and ensures prompt implementation of proper measures.

The developed software provides comprehensive capabilities for users to accumulate, view, edit, and analyse geological and geophysical information. To automate the creation of graphical geological materials for individual wells and gas storage facilities, data from these databases should be used.
