Using Phenomenology, Holistic Models and New Technologies to Optimise the Development of Oil and Gas Reservoirs

Report reviews the application of modern phenomenological and holistic models as well as innovative horizontal drilling technologies and interpretation 3D seismic to improve oil recovery of tight oil carbonate reservoirs. The new scientific model and an integrated approach in the development of unconventional carbonate reservoirs with low porosity. The systems was first implemented during the drilling of two horizontal wells in USA with the close cooperation of Russian, American and Australian experts. The concept of the model is aimed to identify high permeability fracture zones before drilling of the wells, their optimal crossing by the open horizontal hole and preservation in the process of drilling the primary of permeability of fractures, created by the nature itself, which can be considered as an alternative to multistage fracturing and other technologies which are commonly use in the development of hydrocarbons in tight oil and gas reservoirs. Received in the process of joint work results have been planning to be used not only to drill new wells to tight carbonate reservoirs and shales in South Texas, but also in similar fields in tight reservoirs in Western and Eastern Siberia, Timan-Pechora and Volga-Urals oil and gas basins in Russia as well as abroad.
