Abstract
This paper presents the results of research on the substantiation of the oil-saturated volume of the deposit, represented by low-permeability reservoirs, of the oil-saturated reservoir of the US2 Tyumen formation, using the example of a field within the Salymsky district of the Sredneobskaya oil and gas region. One of the main parameters characterizing the area and volume of the deposit is the calculation level. The reference level is the contact separating the water-saturated section from the productive one, which characterizes the entire oil-saturated volume of the pore space of the rock.
In deposits with low-permeability reservoirs, it is often problematic to reliably determine the oil-saturated volume of rocks, due to the presence of only oil-saturated tributaries in such facilities during testing and operation, both in the arch and in the slope part of the deposit, without a single-phase inflow of reservoir water. In this regard, to perform the calculation of reserves in such facilities, a conditional calculation level (CCL) is taken according to the lowest established mark of the sole of the oil-saturated reservoir, or according to the sole of the perforation interval. At the same time, the volume of the pore space below the received contact is not included in the calculation of reserves, even if there is no single-phase inflow of reservoir water.
During the analysis of geological, geophysical, petrophysical and operational data, results were obtained showing that deposits composed
of low-permeability reservoirs represent a mixed hydrodynamic oil-water system, without oil-water contact.
Materials and methods

Abstract
Carbonate reservoirs, as a rule, are characterized by heterogeneity of structure and filtration and reservoir properties. In this case, the zones with the improved filtration and reservoir characteristics are primarily involved in exploitation. In this regard, during the development process there is a need to replenish the resource base of the field and maintain production levels.
The article presents the results of developing a solution to this problem using the example of an oil field in the Lower Permian carbonate reservoirs of the northeastern part of the Timan-Pechora oil and gas province. Firstly, improved filtration and reservoir properties zone was identified within the parts of the field not involved in exploitation. Secondly, objects for additional exploration in complexes that are productive in the area of the studied have been substantiated. In addition, the article provides a brief geological overview of the study area and productive oil and gas complexes, and also substantiates the heterogeneity of the structure and properties of reservoirs.
Materials and methods
The basis for the study was the results of analysis of core and thin sections, interpretation of geophysical wells logging, wells testing, as well as interpretation of seismic survey materials. Using this data in specialized software, a three-dimensional geological model was built, on the basis of which promising improved filtration and reservoir properties zones were identified.

Abstract
“RN-Nyaganneftegaz” JSC is developing two license blocks within Krasnoleninskoye oil and gas condensate field with unique reserves:
Em-Egovsky + Palyanovsky and Kamenny (Western part) blocks.
The study and development of the pre-jurassic complex is associated with a number of complications:
• low coverage by core studies;
• the lack of unambiguous methods for interpreting net-reservoirs within the complex based on well logging data;
• low correlation between well productivities and oil net pays, taking into account fracturing, which complicates the estimation of start-up flow rates;
• high variability in the startup performance of wells drilled at a short distance at similar geological conditions.
Materials and methods
One of the development targets is the pre-jurassic complex which
is being developed within the Kamenny (Western part) license block. Despite the insignificant initial recoverable reserves of the target,
0,6 % of the total Kamenny block reserves, the startup flow rates
of up to 80 t/day (the average startup rates for directional wells are about 20–25 t/day) produced by some directional wells indicate a significant development potential of this target.

Abstract
The main goal of the work is to develop a petrophysical model of the permeability of terrigenous rocks of the aptian-albian-cenomanian
gas-bearing complex. Reservoir rocks are represented by numerous lithological varieties from clayey siltstones to pure coarse-grained sandstones. The aptian-albian and cenomanian rocks differ in the degree of cementation. Due to weak consolidation, the core of the Cenomanian deposits has not been studied enough, which does not allow the development of an individual model, in particular, a permeability model. At the same time, the aptian-albian and cenomanian rocks have similar lithological and petrophysical characteristics within the framework of lithotypes substantiated by the lithological description of core samples. This factor makes it possible to identify unified petrotypes for the entire aptian-albian-cenomanian complex, to identify individual relationships for assessing permeability, and to level the lack of information from laboratory studies of cenomanian rocks.
Materials and methods
The analysis of the results of the study of core material and conducted geophysical studies is carried out. The principle of petrotype separation is based on the relationship between lithological characteristics, filtration-capacitance properties, capillary characteristics of the pore space and grain dimension.

Abstract
In this paper, two approaches to solving the problem of identifying seismic horizons by partially specified positions of horizons in a cube of seismic amplitudes are compared. The first approach is to train a neural network of the U-Net architecture for two-dimensional data on longitudinal and transverse sections of the cube. The second approach is to transform the standard U-Net architecture into a three-dimensional one and train it on 3D cubes of seismic data. Both approaches have been tested on publicly available data on the F3 Netherlands field. A three-dimensional model gives a more accurate forecast, and a two-dimensional model learns much faster and requires fewer computing resources.
Materials and methods
A comparative analysis of the quality of solving the problem of seismic horizons allocation for 2D and 3D architectures of the segmentation convolutional neural network U-Net is performed. The advantages and disadvantages of each of the approaches are determined. Practical recommendations for evaluating and training models on new data are given.

Abstract
The study considers the issue of depleting reserves of a development object is at the final stage of development and is characterized by a decrease in the efficiency of the oil extraction process due to the gradual deterioration of the structure of residual mobile oil reserves. Based on the detailing of the geological structure of the object, which has a clinoform structure and includes three terrigenous layers, analysis of field studies and geological and hydrodynamic modeling, it was established that the areas of localization of reserves are confined to the bottom parts, which are characterized by deterioration of filtration parameters and increased dissection. Based on the results of the analysis, a strategy for extracting reserves was developed, which included hydraulic fracturing in high-thickness zones of the dissected part of the reservoir, the further implementation of which showed high success.

Abstract
When developing oil rims, horizontal wells with an intelligent completion system are widely used, including wellbore segmentation and installation of automatic inflow control devices. When segmenting, a uniform arrangement of casing packers along the wellbore is often used, the main disadvantage of which is the high risk of loss of tightness when installing the packer into the fractured zone of the reservoir. The paper presents an approach based on the complex interpretation of well and seismic data for predicting zones of increased open fracturing along of design horizontal wells in a carbonate cavernous-fractured reservoir for the purpose of their correct segmentation. This will exclude the risks of leaky planting of casing packers, prevent breakthrough of an undesirable phase (gas, water) to the wellbore during its production and to increase the efficiency of selective stimulation of highly fractured. Dynamic modeling confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Materials and methods
The analysis of well logging, marker test made it possible to identify fractured zones along the horizontal hole wells and prove the conductivity of these zones. Attribute analysis of seismic data allows to determine fracture zones, but does not provide information about their conductivity. A complex analysis of well logging with seismic data allows to select attributes for forecasting possible areas of increased fracturing along planned horizontal hole in order to effectively segment design wells with automatic inflow control devices.

Abstract
The paper discusses the results of paleotectonic analysis of a number of oil uplifts of a field located in the northern part of the Ulyanovsky ridge on the territory of Tatarstan Republic. To determine the history of the development of sedimentary strata, the method of the isopachic triangle was used. The method allows you to restore the general course of events and trace the objects of research at different points in geological time. A set of paleostructural maps constructed within the deposit is summarized in a general scheme that allows us to trace the tectonic rearrangements characteristic of the beginning of the Lower Carboniferous time. Acording to isopachic triangle of maps, we have obtained information about structural forms and paleotectonics at different time intervals of geological time within the field, but not large enough to draw conclusions about regional interruptions with which significant tectonic movements can be associated.
Materials and methods
The structural surfaces obtained from the Vereyan, Bashkirian, Tulian, Bobrikovsky and Tournaiyan surfaces were used in the work; as well as isopachite maps constructed between the studied surfaces.
All constructions are made according to the data obtained as a result of the interpretation of borehole geological and geophysical studies and the results of seismic surveys.

Abstract
The use of the results of dynamic analysis and the application of the classification of underwater fans made it possible to identify the internal morphology of alluvial fans within one layer of the field. Alluvial fan data differ in the type of feed system, their porosity properties and different effective thicknesses. In the article, using the example of the Ach1 reservoir, the morphological features of sand bodies of alluvial fans within the same reservoir and their identification by seismic attributes during dynamic interpretation are shown.
Materials and methods
Cube slices were calculated by the “envelope length” attribute, spectral decomposition maps (RGB), obtained by mixing different frequencies. On all maps of seismic attributes (maps of seismic classes, slices by attributes, RGB maps), morphological objects are traced, identified as deep-water (achimov) alluvial fans and feeding channels. A spectral decomposition map of the Ach1 reservoir was built, which contains the most promising areas that are associated with underwater fans. The morphology of the formation of underwater fans associated with the conditions of sedimentation and types of source of power supply.

Abstract
The article reviews the approaches to using the solution of the direct seismic survey problem by integral methods as a means for:
• studying the wave fields to optimize planning and plotting of the seismic survey data processing flow graph under certain seismic and geological conditions;
• correction of dynamic distortions of the wave fields during processing of seismic data.
Based on the results of the studies, solid evidence was obtained on the need for widespread implementation of such procedures to obtain a correct dynamic picture of the wave field, as well as some conclusions about the actual efficiency of certain procedures, and the main reasons
for the dynamic distortions obtained by the processing results are described.
Materials and methods
The set of synthetic data of seismic survey based on the composite seismic and geological model are used as the materials. The seismic and geological model was plotted layer by layer with the use of volumetric interpolation and geostatistical simulation methods. The wave fields were simulated with the method of field transfer by integral operators. The correction of dynamic distortions was performed by wide view calibration with control of the results by methods of studying amplitude variations depending on “source-receiver” distance.

Abstract
Improving labor efficiency by reducing labor costs for simple routine operations and freeing up time for processes that require a creative approach is an urgent task of labor organization, especially in the oil and gas industry. One of the approaches to solving this problem is the typification of the processes of work, as well as the formation of standard documentation. The article is devoted to the application of this approach to the testing processes of prospecting and exploration wells in cased and open holes. It is shown that in these processes it is possible to type: the process of planning tests, documentation for planning work on testing, the process of implementing tests, documentation for the implementation of tests, as well as reporting on the performance of work on testing. It is analyzed what exactly is typed in these processes and how it affects the labor costs of specialists and managers. The qualitative effects of unification and typification of well testing processes during prospecting and exploration drilling are shown. The conclusion about the indisputable benefits of the introduction of unification and typification in the processes related to the geology and development of oil and gas fields is substantiated.
