Abstract


At the late stage of oil field development, the structure and composition of residual reserves deteriorate for geological and technological reasons. A significant part of these reserves is concentrated in missed deposits and reservoirs. Field geophysical, hydrodynamic, seismic and lithological-facial studies and modeling help to determine the location of such deposits. For fields with a long history of development, high water cut, worn-out and low-yield well stock, it is especially important to develop an inexpensive and simple method or an integrated approach to identify and localize missed deposits. It is also necessary to develop a set of geological and technical measures to bring these reserves into development. The authors of the report proposed a retrospective analysis to identify missed oil deposits in the Upper and Lower Devonian sediments of the field, which has been developed since 1952, for which they proposed an algorithm for selecting effective geological and technical measures for their involvement in development.

Key words:
