Practical Application of the Fluorescent Microspheres Method Technology in Horizontal Wells of the Upper Salym Oil Field: Efficiency of the Method, Technology and Approach
The development of hydraulic fracturing technology began with single operations and is currently the most effective tool for increasing the productivity of wells and managing field development. Without the application of the hydraulic fracturing method, many fields would not have been successfully put into operation. For example, in the USA, hydraulic fracturing technology is used almost everywhere, which enabled an increase in the share of recoverable reserves by 25-30%. The first hydraulic fracturing in our country was carried out in 1952. After this, the number of such works increased for several years, but then declined. This was due to the industrial development of large oil fields in Western Siberia. The application of hydraulic fracturing technology was resumed in the 1980s and has been growing steadily ever since (Usachev, 1986).
Horizontal drilling technologies are currently developing at a fairly rapid pace, which entails an increase in the accuracy of penetrating a given part of the formation. Multi-stage hydraulic fracturing is primarily used in the well to increase the flow rate. It is expected that in the perspective of 2019-2020, the share of horizontal drilling will reach 46-50%, which is due to plans for the intensive development of new fields in Eastern Siberia (Figure 1).

There has been a steady increase in the share of horizontal drilling with the total volume of production in Russia since 2008 (Figure 2).

Technical solutions are required for the delivery of geophysical equipment to the horizontal section of the well for horizontal wells production logging using an electric centrifugal pump (ESP). The existing Y-tool technology allows for lowering the geophysical equipment to the coiled tubing system, therefore bypassing the ESP system in close proximity to well operation mode, but this increases the well completion cost by 25%.
Along with the conventional methods of horizontal wells production logging such as PLT logging, oil producing companies are increasingly beginning to apply innovative methods based on marker technology.

Production logging of the well with the application of marked proppant is carried out continuously for several years.
