Analysis of the implemented development system effectiveness, horizontal wells drilling and well interventions in the conditions of carbonate deposits of the Tournaisian tier of the Znamenskoye oil field

he paper analyzes the implemented system for the oil deposits of the Tournaisian tier of the Znamenskoye field development, as well as factors reducing its effectiveness, assessment of the features of the geological structure affecting oil production, and the development of proposals to improve the development system efficiency. It is noted that during the development of the field, the geological structure of the Tournaisian tier oil deposits has significantly changed because of the additional study of the development facility, the high efficiency of the use of horizontal wells has been confirmed. It shows an increase in the initial well flow rate and the specific accumulated oil production per meter of oil-saturated reservoir thickness, a decrease in the initial water content of well production, the growth rate of water content, a decrease in the accumulated oil-water factor for the first year of well operation, depending on the increase in the capacity of the bridge between the oil and water-saturated layers. Keywords: oil reserves production; bridge; oil recovery factor; oil-water factor; well.
