Prospects of using passive seismic in the Novy Port oil and gas condensate field, Russia

This paper considers the prospects of conducting the supplementary exploration in the north part of the Novy Port oil and gas condensate field. There may be two ways to completely explore this field. The first way includes drilling a significant number of exploration wells based on available data. The second one requires the passive seismic surveys and drilling a small number of exploration wells with the aim of confirming the obtained results. These wells can be used as the production ones later. Such an approach will significantly reduce the financial burdens and increase reliability of received geological information. There are many advantages of using the passive seismic in the Novy Port oil and gas condensate field.
