The high facies variability of V13 formation (Nepa suit) determines the reservoir properties anisotropy and the difficulty to identify promising areas for exploration and production drilling. As a result of core studies, processing and interpretation of 3D seismic survey, the detailed seismic facies model was built. Its application made possible to increase the degree of models verifiability from 15 to 85% and to optimize the number of exploration wells need to drill and to base an objective project business case. The best reservoirs were formed in the lower part of the formation, they are represented by facies of sandy fan and distribution channels, confidently identified using modern 3D seismic survey; the width of the fluvial cones ranges from 5–7 to 10–18 km, and the length from 5–8 to 20 km. According to the core, well logging and seismic data, a regular decrease in net pay to the edges of the cones is observed, and the proportion of the clay fraction increases. Uncertainty in the assessment of the vertical and lateral anisotropy of the reservoir is used for alternative concepts in 3D geological and hydrodynamic models. Developed methods and approaches, conceptual models, and the results obtained (sizes of facies bodies, their connectivity and reservoir properties) are can be used for analogous fields in the region in order to create a reliable predictive basis for drilling and production forecasting.
