In given article the approach of zone identification by the example of Field X is discussed. The criteria used in this method are the following: level of geological knowledge, initial data quality, character of fluid saturation, sedimentological features of productive formations, facial distribution and extension, net pay thickness, compartmentalization of pay zones, position of fluid contacts. On this basis 3 zones of different prospectivity and level of knowledge have been identified in Field X. This subdivision is of interest from the standpoint of further field investigation program planning, new exploration and exploitation wells location, optimal development methods choice and identification of stages of field bringing into development. Acquisition of new information and production data during the process of further field research and development will allow specifying and correcting given scheme of zonin
