The article presents data on the role of organic matter as the primary source of oil and gas formation. It provides a general overview of scientific research on the theory of the organic origin of hydrocarbons. The methodological part of the study is based on guidelines for determining the distribution patterns of organic matter in formations of various types, using the values of the formation-equivalent. The formation-equivalent is understood as the aggregation of all forms of organic matter of any type into a co...

Drilling fluid properties – density and rheology (plastic viscosity, yield point, gel strength) – are essential for wellbore stability, pressure control, hole cleaning, and minimizing non-productive time (NPT) in oil and gas drilling. Traditional manual methods (pressurized mud balance, Fann 35 viscometer) are periodic, labor-intensive, and delay corrections, increasing risks of kicks, lost circulation, and instability. This study proposes an intelligent automated system for real-time monitoring and control us...
