The 3D distribution of the initial oil saturation in the reservoir volume is one of the key elements of geological and technological modeling, largely determining the quality of subsequent development design solutions. The publication presents an analysis of the current state of the problem of studying the oil-water transition zone and the distribution of oil saturation. For terrigenous hydrophilic reservoirs, electric lateral logging quite reliably controls the fluid saturation of the void space of the oil part of the deposit, which suggests the possibility of its integration with widely used capillarimetry methods. Aim: to evaluate the possibility of reliably determining the oil saturation of terrigenous hydrophilic reservoirs by combining the data of electrical lateral logging, filtration-capacitance properties of reservoirs and capillarimetric core studies, to build a 3D model of the distribution of the initial oil saturation of reservoirs in oil deposits, taking into account the allocation of the oil-water transition zone. Object: oil-saturated reservoirs of the Visean oil deposits of the Perm region. Method: methods of multidimensional mathematical modeling in the development of a methodology for determining the initial oil saturation of reservoirs based on a complex of well logging and capillarimetric studies of the core, construction of 3D distribution of the initial oil saturation of the reservoir, taking into account the parameters of the oil-water transition zone. Results. The authors, based on the developed methodology for the deposit of the reservoir Bb of the Aspinskoe field, built a 3D model of the distribution of the initial oil saturation. For the studied reservoir, they carried out the analysis of distribution of zones of free saturation, undersaturation, transition zone and limiting oil saturation. The resulting 3D model can be used in geological and technological modeling of the development of an oil deposit.
