The article describes a method for developing low-permeability reservoirs using horizontal wells with multi-stage hydraulic fracturing. The effectiveness of the new method lies in protecting the horizontal part of the production well by drilling it through a non-reservoir plastic reservoir adjacent directly to the target reservoir. The paper considers various implementations of the technology and estimates the increase in oil recovery factor for each of them based on the results of hydrodynamic modeling. The risks associated with the implementation of the technology are considered. Methods for their reduction are proposed.

With the development of drilling and well completion technologies, multi-staged hydraulic fracturing (MSF) in horizontal wells has established itself as one of the most effective methods for stimulating production in fields with low permeability properties. In Eastern Siberia, this technology is at the pilot project stage. For example, at the Bolshetirskoye field, these works are being carried out to enhance the productivity of horizontal wells by increasing the connectivity of productive layers in a low- and medium- permeable porous-cavernous reservoir. However, different challenges like high permeability heterogeneity and the presence of H2S corrosive gases setting a bar higher for the requirement of the well construction design and well monitoring to achieve the maximum oil recovery factor. At the same time, well and reservoir surveillance of different parameters, which may impact on the efficiency of multi-stage hydraulic fracturing and oil contribution from each hydraulic fracture, remains a challenging and urgent task today. This article discusses the experience of using tracer technology for well monitoring with multi-stage hydraulic fracturing to obtain information on the productivity of each hydraulic fracture separately.

We present the digital slot — a tool for the development of new hydraulic fracturing technologies via digitization of slurry flow in narrow channels. We consider slurry containing fluid, proppant, and fiber components. The flow is described by a continuum mathematical model based on the lubrication theory. The numerical algorithm utilizes Lagrangian approach with finite volume pressure solver. We present the results of laboratory validation and simulation examples showing the key effects affecting solids transport in hydraulic fracturing: settling, bridging, gravity slumping, materials degradation, viscosity contrast, and bank formation.

Continuing consumption of fossil fuels around the world, which has led to an increasing concentration of carbon dioxide CO2 in the atmosphere and global climate change caused by greenhouse gases, has become one of the main challenges for humanity. Heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide in order to obtain valuable carbon-containing products and materials is one of the decarbonization directions. There is much research in the world dedicated to the hydrogenation of CO2 to various hydrocarbons, such as methane, lower olefins, long-chain hydrocarbons, formic acid, methanol and higher alcohols, which are produced by catalytic reactions with various mechanisms. There are still significant challenges associated with the need for an external source of hydrogen, high process temperatures, and the development of active, selective, and stable catalysts that would be suitable for large-scale production. This paper presents results of research on a CO2 utilization method with hydrogen and hydrocarbons production – the transformation of wastes into a source of energy, which allows solving environmental and energy problems. The method described in this paper consists in the interaction of metallic fillers with water saturated with carbon dioxide in a reactor at low (room) temperatures and further analysis of the resulting gas mixture using a chromatograph. Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the produced gas composition, study of the effect of reaction system volume, filler composition and structure, and process temperature on the reaction product yield are presented. The results of theoretical and experimental analysis of the reactions underlying the process are given, and the economic potential of the proposed laboratory method is evaluated.

At the present stage of the hydrocarbon production process, most of the unique and largest fields in the world are at a late stage of development. Despite the active development and policy of a decarbonised economy, the demand for liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons remains high, while of inevitably growing the number of mature fields. The Volga-Ural oil and gas province today is an old oil and gas producing region, most of the fields have already entered the final stage of development. However, through the introduction and development of new technologies for oil extraction, monitoring of production and localization of reserves, the life of the fields can be extended. One of these technologies is geochemical monitoring of well production. Its goal is to optimize the development of mature fields on the basis of promptly obtained information about the state of the wells using geochemical studies of the formation fluid, allowing timely implementation of the necessary measures. Geochemical studies allow identifying the source of fluid entering the well, determining a violation in the wellbore structure, checking the tightness of downhole equipment for separate operation, and performing an area analysis of the area development efficiency. This type of research is relevant both in giant fields with a large stock of production wells, often characterized from a geological point of view by multilayer structure, with technological complexity, packing, wear of equipment and strings, in some cases the impossibility of running gauge for research, and in fields with low depletion. The possibilities of geochemistry for solving local operational problems in wells are shown. Several hydrogeological complexes have been studied, the change in the properties of the produced water during the development process is described. The concepts of the geochemical conditions in the hydrocarbon deposits that existed earlier are changing due to the development of these objects as a dynamic system, continuous injection of different types of water into the reservoir, the use of enhanced oil recovery methods and other technogenic impact associated with the development of reserves. The digital revolution and the modern development of the industry marked the beginning of the creation of the Digital Atlas of Groundwater, the development of specialized algorithms that allow processing large amounts of data.

The long-term practice of operating wells producing oil rich in paraffins and asphaltenes has shown that the optimization of technologies for the removal of solid high-molecular organic deposits (asphaltene-resin-paraffin deposits) in oilfield equipment, lifting pipes and flow lines makes it possible to effectively solve the issues of improving the environmental friendliness and energy efficiency of oil production. The use of composite hydrocarbon solvents is one of the most well-known methods used to remove asphaltene-resin-paraffin deposits. Thus, to date, there is no systemic solution to this issue. This paper is aimed at discussing the provisions that determine the possible prospects for the development of an optimal strategy for the use of solvents for the removal of asphaltene-resin-paraffin deposits.

The objective of this paper is to assess the generation potential of the Triassic hydrocarbon (HC) source rocks for the petroleum potential of the Middle-Caspian Oil and Gas Basin. Tectonically the study area belongs to the Epigercine Scythian-Turanian plate, which includes the following major tectonic elements: the Karpinsk-Mangyshlak ridge and the Prikum-Central Caspian system of troughs and uplifts. Comprehensive research approach to identify the main features of the Triassic hydrocarbon system, such as the interpretation of seismic data, laboratory geochemical analysis and evolution restoration of the hydrocarbon systems elements by 3D basin modeling techniques. The geochemical research includes pyrolytic analysis of potential Triassic source rocks, determination of the vitrinite reflectance values, chromatography-Mass Spectrometry studies of molecular structure. The subsequent basin modeling made it possible to integrate a wide range of geological and geophysical information into a single complex. These basin modeling results provide a better understanding of evolution restoration of the hydrocarbon systems elements and make it possible to foresee hydrocarbon accumulation's localization. The combined set of research helped to identify the boundaries of the Triassic HC source rocks in the Middle-Caspian Basin. It also allowed characterizing in detail their geochemical parameters and evaluating the volume of its generation potential. Triassic deposits are part of the taphrogenic intermediate complex of the Scythian platform and mainly located in graben structures. The increased content of organic matter is associated with the Lower Triassic Neftekum Formation of the Olenek Stage, which is composed of clayey limestones and mudstones. The content of total organic carbon (TOC) in limestones in the Eastern Fore-Caucasus area averages 0.1 % in some layers up to 2.05 %. The average TOC content in mudstones is 0.43 %. This parameter is up to 0.9 % in the direction of the East-Manych trough. Triassic deposits were penetrated by 5 wells, the average content of organic carbon was 1.22% in mudstones. The samples show a migrant presence of bitumen. According to 3D basin modeling results, the Olenek HC source rock has practically exhausted its potential in on most of the except the southern part of the study area, as well as the eastern flank. The Olenek stage's Neftekum HC source rock in the southern part of the model is identified with MK1-3 catagenesis gradations, this grade represents the main zone of oil generation. At the northern part of study area, those strata of source rock are positioned at a great depth. The hydrocarbon source rock in those areas have reached the grades of catagenesis MK5-AK1, which represents the zones of condensate and gas formation.

The hydrocarbon source rock in those areas have reached the grades of catagenesis MK5-AK1, which represents the zones of condensate and gas formation.\u0000 The research results allow to take a new look at the influence of the Triassic hydrocarbon system and its prospects of petroleum potential of the Middle-Caspian Oil and Gas Basin.
