The unique Arlanskoye oil field has a very long and fascinating history of development, with several generations of scientists and petroleum engineers working on its design and operation The field's size, complex geological structure and the presence of highly viscous oil have determined a number of challenges of field development. As a consequence, Arlanskoye field has become a testing ground for various pilot works and experiments for original engineering solutions. The Arlanskoye field development experience is applied to the majority of fields in the Volga-Ural oil and gas province. The article describes the main milestones in the development of Arlanskoye oil field. Current challenges and ways to solve them are described. A further development concept is formulated, which includes a set of key tasks from regional geology to monitoring of production, aimed at improving the efficiency of reserves development and increasing oil production. The results of research work carried out by RN-BashNIPIneft LLC in recent years, as well as the actual results of the implementation of field research programs, production drilling and geological and technical activities, indicate the high potential of the Arlanskoye field. To unlock this potential, it is necessary to continue the implementation of comprehensive programs for additional study of reservoirs and increase the efficiency of development, planning and conducting research work, the use of geological and hydrodynamic modeling to assess the zones of residual reserves localization.

The authors introduce a new method of oil wells stimulation for carbonate reservoirs, characterized by the presence of a gas cap or adjacent water-bearing interlayers has been tested. This method is based on combination of mechanical (radial drilling using special technical system) and chemical (acid treatment of channels) methods. The technical system provides for application of radial mechanical drilling technology with the use of a special small-sized screw downhole motor. The main advantages of the technology, as compared with standard methods of perforation, are the possibility of selective action on the formation due to the predicted route of the channel and multiple placing of reagents and logging tools to the channel. The novelty of the technology lies in selective directional treatment, which allows effectively overcome the critical matrix zone and restore well productivity after drilling fluid infiltration. The ability to predict the trajectory of the channels while drilling makes it possible to avoid contact with water-saturated interlayers. This technology was first tested during works on recompletion in the overlying carbonate reservoirs of Kashirskian-Podolskian deposits of Arlanskoye field and Bashkirian stage deposits of Yugomashevskoye fields, operated by Bashneft-Dobycha LLC. The formations are characterized by the high heterogeneity and relatively close location of water-saturated interlayers. Three wells were selected for field testing. Two channels were drilled in each well: in two wells 7 m in length, in the third well 14 m. After drilling the channels, acidizing was performed through a special jet nozzle. More than 10 m of hydrochloric acid composition was injected into each of the drilled channels. Oil flow rate after field tests was 1.5 t/day in the first well, 3.9 t/day in the second one and 40.5 t/day in the third one. The experience of combining radial drilling of channels and acid treatment showed a number of advantages: first, the possibility of commingling formation zones separated by low-permeability vertical barriers; second, reduction of risks of breakthrough into water-bearing formations.

At present, hydrocarbon reserves in carbonate sediments are the source of growth and maintenance of oil production levels. Carbonate deposits development is characterized by high geological and technological risks of well drilling, related to poor reservoir properties and complex geological structure. Petroleum engineers making prompt decisions on drilling wells need express estimation tools that would help them rate geological and technological factors when identifying high-risk areas. The article discusses the use of an integral map of drilling risks for the Middle Carboniferous carbonate strata (reservoir С2ks-pd) of the Arlanskoe field. The reservoir С2ks-pd is defined by poor PVT characteristics, high lateral and areal heterogeneity, and void morpholoical variability. The development of the integral map of drilling risks was based on fuzzy logic methods, which allowsed finding unrevealed dependencies between successful drilling and different affecting factors. Preliminarily to form the list of geological and technological data, on which integral map development will be based. According to the obtained integral risk map, С2ks-pd reservoir was ranked into 4 categories based on desirability degree: high, moderate, low and critical. The approach proposed in the article allowed adjusting drilling targets for wells previously placed in areas with low and critical desirability and highlight dangerous areas to perform additional research for prevention negative results prevention.

The article is devoted to the localization of residual reserves in the deposits of the Pashian horizon (the main object of development of the unique Tuymazinskoye field) and the development strategy. The object is at the final stage of development, due to the formed effective development system, it is characterized by high recovery factor. At the same time, because of geological structure heterogeneity the layers of the object differ in the degree of development. The layer D3ps1 has worse filtration and capacitance properties and is more heterogeneous than the layer D3ps2-3. Comprehensive analysis was performed using information about the actual operation of wells, field data, results of field and geophysical studies, results of compaction drilling and geological and hydrodynamic modeling. It was found that the remaining recoverable reserves are localized mainly in the layer D3ps1. Based on the results of field studies and well performance analysis, geological and technical measures were carried out, the success of which confirmed the correctness of the conclusion about the presence of residual reserves in the upper part of the section. Since 2013, 78 hydraulic fracturing operations have been performed, including the introduction of linear gel technology in thin bridges (between the target reservoir and the underlying aquifer, or watered due to efficient production), which allows increasing the number of candidates and intensifying production in the most difficult conditions. Based on the created geological filtration model confirmed and refined the localization of stocks at the square, and the slit formed programme of activities (drilling of wells and sidetracks, hydraulic fracturing, remedial cementing work, the organization of the new waterflooding, differential fix, etc.), the implementation of which will allow us to maintain levels of oil production and increase reserve recovery main object of the development of the unique Tuimazinskoye field.

Abstract With high reservoir heterogeneity in terms of permeability and fluid properties, substantial amounts of oil are produced along with water. At water cuts higher than 96–98%, wells become uneconomic and are shut in or undergo water shut-off treatments. For this reason, shutting off water flow through thief zones in flooded reservoirs to prevent it from entering wells is one of the biggest technical challenges in enhancing oil recovery from mature multi-reservoir oil fields. As the water cut increases, water flow through thief zones must be reduced, along with the amount of water entering the well, to enhance sweep efficiency in lower-permeability portions of the reservoir. A new technology employing polymer dispersed systems (PDS) shuts off formation and injected water flows by increasing flow resistance in thief zones. This process redistributes the energy of the injected water in the reservoir and helps produce oil from unswept zones, thus increasing flooding efficiency and oil recovery. PDSs do not require drastic changes in existing development systems and are employed together with conventional water-flooding methods. This paper presents studies of basic and modified PDS versions for oil recovery enhancement adapted for conditions existing in the Vyatka area of the Arlan oil field containing poorly continuous reservoirs with lithofacies heterogeneity. This depleted area had a stable, high water cut. The new method for enhancing water flooding efficiency using polymer dispersed systems presented in the paper selectively increases flow resistance in the thief zones of productive formations with a resulting increase in sweep efficiency.

Due to the use of high-performance technologies, such as horizontal drilling with multi-stage hydraulic fracturing, proppant and acid fracturing, optimization of reservoir pressure maintenance system, oil production was increased by 17%. Main object development – terrigenous low carbonic thick series is in the final stages of development, at the same time second largest recoverable reserves the Kashirskian-Podolskian object is actively being developed. Actual tasks for further development of the field are localization of current recoverable oil reserves terrigenous low carbonic thick series and the Kashirskian-Podolskian object development system organization. For the localization of current oil reserves, a geological field analysis with sector geological and hydrodynamic modeling was used. For both objects, taking into account the peculiarities of their geological structure, fluid properties and the current state of development, a detailed development strategy has been developed, which provides systematic application of advanced development methods (horizontal drilling with multi-stage hydraulic fracturing, proppant and acid fracturing), use of differentiated influence system and measures to regulate the development process in the production and injection wells. The implementation of the strategy will increase the oil production field, create an effective development system of Kashirskian-Podolskian object, reduce the amount of produced water at the main object development and improve the production efficiency of the object's reserves.

The PDF file of this paper is in Russian. Main object development unique Arlanskoye oilfield has exceptionally complex subsurface geology and contains heavy oil with increased viscosity. In section of terrigenous low carbonic thick series, eight productive layers have been identified. Taking into account the heterogeneity of the filtration-capacitive properties of these layers, in the section of the object, it is lawful to single out three packs. The upper one, uniting mainly of three highly permeable layers, predominantly sustained in area, middle pack with four thin middle-permeable layers, and a lower pack, represented by a single high-permeable layer with an extensive aquifer. The layers of the middle pack have deteriorated reservoir properties in comparison with the layers of the upper and lower packs, which influences the development of the multi-layered object. According to the results of development survey and geophysical studies, with the joint operation of packs of the object, the middle pack is characterized by the worst output, both qualitatively and quantitatively. These facts point to the unevenness of the coverage of the layers by waterflooding and the lesser degree of production efficiency from the middle pack. To assess the localization of current oil reserves in the conditions of a multi-layered object, a deep geological and field analysis of production was carried out with the involvement of sectoral geological and hydrodynamic modeling. The carried out analysis made it possible to identify the zones of localization of current oil reserves by section and area. The application of differentiated influence systems on packs and layers - partial disaggregation of the object in the zones of localization of current oil reserves in production and injection wells and application of the targeted program of geological and technical measures will significantly improve the production efficiency of the object's reserves.

The PDF file of this paper is in Russian. In the article experience of use of monocarboxylic acid in oil well treatment are reviewed. Noted range of advantages of monocarboxylic acid compared to usually used hydrochloric acid solutions. Main advantages are: slower rate of interaction with carbonate matrix; lower corrosion rate; better iron and aluminum ions stability features. Monocarboxylic acid can be used as additives to hydrochloric acid solutions at oil well treatments (acetic acid, formic acid etc.). To optimize cost of treatments we tested out hydrocarbon liquid-phase oxidation products (hereafter referred to as ‘mono-mix’) - mixture of monocarboxylic acids and organic solvents. Production of mono-mix is well spread at gasoline plants or in situ at oil fields treating facilities. Mono-mix manufactured from co-produced gas or gas and condensate from gas fields. To define reservoir condition limitation for mono-mix well treatment series of laboratory tests was conducted. It is shown that mono-mix reaction with carbonate is exothermic. Neutralization rate of mono-mix as well as it's solutions with HCl considerably slower compared to pure HCl. Mono-mix solutions (fresh or spent) bear low coefficient of surface tension at mono-mix – oil border. Mono-mix shows quite high stabilizing and bactericidal features. Fresh and spent mono-mix solutions significantly depress the swelling ability of formation clays as well as filtered from drilling mud, destroy and disperse clay structure supporting the takeaway from the reservoir, possessing anti-corrosion features.Using theoretical and experimental data one-fluid and two-fluids solutions for field testing proposed. 11 oil well exploiting Kashirskian-Podolskian horizon of Arlanskoye oilfield were treated with mono-mix solution. Before pilot test those wells were treated with HCl numerous times as well as with oil-acid emulsion. Treatment with mono-mix solutions complete in pilot test display much better result compared to previous standard HCl-solution treatments and can be recommended for common use.

The PDF file of this paper is in Russian. The analysis of the Tuymazinskoye oil-field Devonian layer terrigenous deposits reserves recovery status was carried out. It is shown that, as a result of long-time development processes, the residual reserves have localized in the roof part of monolithic benches, or in low permeability benches and interlayers. These results are verified by the oil saturation assessment during the operation drilling and the stock restoring by sidetracking. The 80 drilled into the D2ps Tuymazinskoye deposit wells' operation records show that the initial oil recovery does not exceed 5–6 t/24h and the initial water-cut is more than 85 per cent. The cause of the low production rate is coning, i.e. raising the water-oil sector surface along the borehole axis. In order to assess contact or floating area's size impact on the basic parameters of the reserves recovery, the D2ml Tuymazinskoye oil field Devonian layer terrigenous deposits reservoir compartments having a different floating zone share in the site area recovery analysis has been made. The resulting dependence of the oil recovery factor on the contact space areas shows that the zones with the maximum size contact areas are characterized by low oil recovery factor and poor recovery efficiency. It is shown that, for the floating areas, the recovery is characterized by unfavorably high initial water cut values and its intensive growth in oil recovery range of 0.1 to 0.3. The high accumulated floating areas water-oil ratio tends to be accompanied by high oil well water-cut and a high watering time of the recovered product from the beginning of the site development. To obtain the residual oil reserves higher recovery, a technology has been developed to extract oil reserves from the roofing area, which is based on the phased formation drilling. Multiple regression equations have been worked out to calculate the oil cone formation periods and the subsequent water cone formation period in the contact areas, depending on the reservoir geological and physical parameters and the rate of fluid withdrawals.
