Abstract

This study was made for
investigating the relationship between iodine and hydrocarbon accumulations and
to determine iodine contents of formation waters in the Southeastern Anatolia
basin oilfields where have been produced almost all of the Turkey oils (more
than 95%). Formation water samples have taken from 234 production wells in 49
oilfields which have different geological structures where oil and gas
production has performed by the Turkish Petroleum Company (TPAO). Also, the
drilling mud samples from EBY-17 oilwell in Elbeyli (Adıyaman) field has
collected, and their iodine analyses were carried out. Although the fields in
the Southeastern Anatolia basin are old and some fields the secondary
production methods are used, the high relationship between the oil and gas
deposits and iodine were proved. As well as in other oil and gas fields in the
world, not all reservoir waters in the Southeastern Anatolia basin are saline.
However, all of them are rich in iodine. Therefore, the iodine-rich waters are
a direct indicator for oil and gas producible reservoirs (containing mature
hydrocarbon). Reservoir-targeted iodine geology and hydrogeology methods have
simple sampling process, and laboratory analyses can result at a short time.
The results are low cost, reliable and consistent. In the case when these data
are utilized with other geological and geophysical methods, it is determined
will be a practical and useful tool to reduce the hydrocarbon exploration risk
to a minimum and to discover new deposits suitable for commercial production.
