Abstract


The article analyzes the relationship between the coverage of the well stock by tertiary reservoir treatment operations and the efficiency of oil reserves extraction. The efficiency criterion is the ratio of reserves, and a sample of long-term oil fields of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug is used as a research material. Based on the analysis results, the values of the well stock coverage by geological and technological measures for the main tertiary methods application are substantiated. Additionally, the article examines the possibility of increasing oil production through tertiary methods, and how the increase in production at the late development stage correlates with the efficient reserves development.

Key words:

multiplicity of reserves, hydraulic fracturing, treatment of the bottom zone, physical and chemical methods of increasing oil recovery, hydrodynamic methods, drilling of side wells, long-term development of fields
