The article shows the main spatio-temporal regularities of the development of the processes of generation, migration and accumulation of hydrocarbon fluids in the eastern part of the Scythian plate. The authors studied the features of the generationaccumulation hydrocarbon systems of the northern platform side - the Karpinsko-Mangyshlak and East Ciscaucasian oil and gas regions based on the application of technologies of basin analysis and modeling of hydrocarbon systems. The research results indicate that the following hydrocarbon systems are distinguished in the sedimentary cover of the eastern part of the Scythian plate: Jurassic, Cretaceous, Paleocene-Eocene, and Oligocene-Miocene systems. Based on the results of the studies and modeling, the main directions of further prospecting and exploration work in the eastern part of the Scythian plate were determined. The study area was differentiated by the nature of the predicted oil and gas content, the age of the promising complexes and the confinement to tectonic structures and zones.

The thermobaric conditions for the formation of gas hydrates in the presence of the sodium salt of carboxymethylcellulose, dextran, and arabinogalactan were studied in a quasi-equilibrium thermodynamic experiment. It is established that polysaccharides slow down the rate and change the conditions of gas hydrate formation of a mixture of natural gases, showing the properties of a thermodynamic and kinetic inhibitor with technological efficiency exceeding methanol by 170-270 times when used in the same dosages. The results of the development of a «green» synergistic inhibitor of gas hydrate formation «Glycan RU» on their basis are presented, which includes a combination of thermodynamic and kinetic inhibitors. Pilot field tests of «Glycan RU» were carried out at the wells of the Priobskoye, Prirazlomnoye, Ombinsky, Zapadno-Ugutskoye oilfields. It was found that at dosages of 1000 g/m3 and 500 g/m3, there is no formation of hydrate plugs in the annulus. «Glycan RU» is recommended for industrial use by the technology of periodic injection and/or continuous dosing through wellhead dispensers.

Theoretical preconditions for modeling wellbore stability and predicting hydraulic fracturing
One of the complex technological tasks in the process of drilling is to ensure the stability of the wellbore walls, as well as their modeling for further forecasting the state of the wellbore and the likelihood of hydraulic fracturing. This is due to the fact that most of the complications and factors affecting the equilibrium state of the wall are associated with external influences. The article discusses the mechanical and partially hydraulic aspects of solving the described problems associated with modeling the stability of the wellbore walls and predicting hydraulic fracturing. As a result of calculations, the necessary data are obtained for making a decision on the density of the drilling fluid for drilling the considered interval of rocks. The assumed model of the porous rock and the given calculation formulas make it possible to fully evaluate the influence of the formation fluid pressure on the mechanical processes in the rocks when they are opened by a well.
Keywords: hydraulic fracturing; blade bit; steel ball-shaped toothed bit; polycrystalline diamond bit; laser drilling; impact rope drilling; rotary drilling.

Determination of reliable values of filtration parameters of productive strata is the most important task of monitoring the processes of developing reserves. One of the most effective methods for solving the problem is hydrodynamic testing of wells using the pressure recovery method, as well as modern methods - the pressure stabilization method and the method based on production analysis (Decline Analyze). This article is devoted to the assessment of the reliability of these three methods in determining the filtration parameters of terrigenous and carbonate productive deposits of oil fields
in the Perm Krai. To solve the problem, multivariate regression analysis was used. A series of multidimensional mathematical models of well flow rates was built using filtration parameters determined for each of the methods. It is proposed to consider the filtration parameters included in the models with the maximum statistical estimates of performance as the most reliable. With regard to the fields under consideration, it was found that in terrigenous reservoirs, all three methods demonstrate stable results. In carbonate reservoirs, reliable values of filtration parameters are determined by processing pressure build-up curves. Pressure stabilization and production analysis methods show less robust results and require additional research in order to develop sound recommendations for their practical application.

Most of the main types of complications in the process of drilling wells, such as collapses, taluses, collapses of the walls, the formation of caverns, etc., are associated with external mechanical and hydrodynamic effects on the walls of the wellbore. Therefore, ensuring the stability of the borehole walls is one of the urgent and difficult technological formation fluid pressure on mechanical processes in rocks when they are opened with a directional well, especially of horizontal wells. This article provides solutions to problems associated with hydraulic fracturing of a well and the condition of its prevention, calculation of generalized stresses in the rock formation for inclined well. As a result of this calculations, the necessary data are obtained for making a decision on the density of the drilling fluid to drilling the considered interval of rocks, as well as for making other technological decisions. The given calculation formulas make it possible to fully evaluate the effect of the formation fluid pressure on the mechanical processes in the rocks when they are opened by a horizontal well.

Experience in conducting multi-zone hydraulic fracturing on the oilfield of PJSC «Tatneft»
The paper presents the possibilities of expanding production opportunities in the oil company PJSC Tatneft. For this purpose, the well No.xxx7g with an inclined pilot borehole was drilled at the Bavlinskoye oil field and oriented core samples were taken to study the lithological cross-section and the geological structure of the subsurface horizons. The horizontal wellbore itself is located in the dankovo-lebedyansky horizon, where multi-zone hydraulic fracturing was carried out through ports with packers there. The following methods will increase the share of recoverable oil reserves in the oldest oil-producing Volga region by starting the development of new productive horizons and increase the oil recovery factors for these reservoirs. The methods used in this work will reduce the unit costs of increasing oil production and achieve a cost-effective level of work on wells of this type. The work had its own peculiarities. One of the reasons for the difficulty in interpreting the hydraulic fracturing Minifrac (Meyer software package) was the rather long time of closing fractures in domanic deposits during the registration of pressure drop. In turn, during the minifrac analysis of the Nolte G Time Test graph showed that the fracture did not close, and therefore it is impossible to determine the closing pressure (the pressure gradient of the gap) with reliable accuracy. Note that when interpreting the flow test results, the best match of the experimental and calculated curves is achieved when using the model of a horizontal well operating a homogeneous reservoir. Also, the deterioration of the bottom-hole zone may be associated with a weak opening of the created fractures.
Keywords: oil; well; hydraulic fracturing; unconventionals; fracture; core.

The paper discusses results of the unique field-scale experiment on halving of active wells and increase of pressure differential at bottomholes of active wells in the Bavlinskoye oil field. With a view to assess the effect of well interference between shut-in and active wells, two scenarios of oil flow lines in the reservoir, shut-in scenario and do-nothing scenario, were modeled. The numerical computation demonstrated that increase of pressure differential at an early stage of development can maintain the obtained level of production with a less number of free-flowing wells. It was also found that an optimal well pattern has to be used at an early stage of development. In this case, oil losses are lower vs. infill drilling at the late stage of development. In the latter case, high water cut challenges economic production, which was the case with half of re-entry experimental wells.

The article presents the developed algorithm and the results of carried out differentiation and grouping of oil deposits in the carbonate reservoirs of the Volga-Ural oil and gas province, both under development and out of exploration, according to geological parameters, the determination of which is possible at the stage of geological exploration. A method for selecting an analogue deposit, which has been in development for a long time has been worked out for a deposit coming out of exploration in order to use the experience of developing an analogue deposit in the conditions of a deposit being put into development. The comparison of the selected groups of objects by geological parameters is carried out, the characteristics of the features of each of them are given, the main differences in the geological structure are revealed. It has been established that the features of the geological structure of various groups of objects are mostly determined by their tectonic-stratigraphic confinement.

Forecasting the viscosity properties of water-oil systems
In article possibilities of predicting the viscosity of stable multicomponent water-oil systems in practice, when it is impossible, for a number of reasons, to obtain their experimental values, are considered. A predictive model is proposed to describe the change in the viscosity properties of various oil-water emulsions depending on the degree of water saturation. It is shown that the proposed formula allows to determine the effective viscosity of water-oil systems in the entire range of variation of the velocity gradient in the absence of experimental data and is acceptable for engineering practice.
Keywords: viscosity; water-oil emulsions; matematical description; water saturation degree; heterogeneous systems.

Oil recovery enhancement by reservoir hydraulic compression technique employment
Industrial experiment works (IEW) were carried out to study the mechanism of filtration and reservoir properties changes (FRP) in the process of wells swabbing. Based on the hydrodynamic studies, the results of the works are analyzed. A method for oil production enhancing by reservoirs hydraulic compression has been worked out. In the process of well swabbing the barograms were recorded, pressure recovery curves were taken with the determination of hydraulic conductivity and piezoconductivity values, potential productivity coefficients, well flow rate, reservoir pressure before and after exposure. The interpretation of hydrodynamic studies was carried out by the deterministic analysis with subsequent modeling of the situation. The reservoir, opened by the perforation interval, is of complex structure, as a result of which the liquid was absorbed by the interlayer located above the area with newly formed microcracks.

The influence of the electromagnetic field (EMF) on the corrosion of structural carbon steel in a 3% aqueous solution of sodium chloride in the presence of CO2 was studied. It is shown that the EMF increases the corrosion rate of steel by 1.13 times in a 3% aqueous solution of NaCl in the presence of CO2. When Ca2+ ions are added to the solution, the corrosion rate of steel decreases under the influence of an electromagnetic field. It is assumed that the formation of CaCO3 in the near-surface layer of the solution and its adsorption on the metal surface prevents the development of corrosion. The influence of the electromagnetic field generated in the frequency range from 100 to 200 kHz on the crystallization of CaCO3 from supersaturated aqueous solutions on the model system CaCl2 – NaHCO3 – FeSO4 is studied. It was found that Fe2+, rather than EMF, has a more significant effect on salt deposition. The efficiency of the effect of Fe2+ on the inhibition of salt deposition in the model of mineralized water CaCl2-NaHCO3 is 11.5% higher than when exposed to EMF. During the crystallization of CaCO3, the predominant formation of aragonite is observed. In the presence of iron ions and under the influence of EMF, there was a decrease in the formation of aragonite and an increase in the formation of calcite and vaterite.

When developing hard-to-recover hydrocarbon reserves, enterprises use various complexes and systems to facilitate technological processes that contribute to the lifting of heavy and viscous oils to the surface, as well as the extraction of light oils from lowpermeability reservoirs. During the operation of fields, abnormal situations also arise, caused by the appearance of asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits (ARPD) and salt deposits on the walls of tubing pipes, Christmas trees, process pipelines and equipment at the bottom. The existing methods of combating and preventing the manifestations of ARPD and salt precipitation can be conditionally divided into mechanical, chemical, thermal. To prevent and combat ARPD, as well as to reduce the viscosity of produced oils, thermal methods are most preferred, among which electrothermal methods are considered effective. In the case of salt sediments, technologies based on electrical energy are also an effective means of prevention, in particular, exposure of the well emulsion to a magnetic field.
Keywords: electrical technological systems and complexes; hard-to-remove oil reserves; asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits; induction heating systems.

Corrosion destruction of the metal of the field equipment and gas pipelines of the oil and gas condensate field (OGCF) was revealed, the cause of which is carbon dioxide corrosion. In order to determine the corrosiveness of the OGCF equipment media, laboratory tests were carried out with periodic moisture condensation in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide, autoclave tests in the liquid phase at elevated temperatures and partial pressure of CO2, and laboratory tests in the gas-vapor phase in the presence of CO2. Tests were carried out on steel 20, the selected solutions were tested on pipe segments of 09G2S steels (well connections and loops) and J55LT (tubing) of 2 types (old, after operation in a well, and new, not operated). Studies have shown that steels used at OGCF (steel 20, J55LT and 09G2S) are not resistant to carbon dioxide corrosion. All items of equipment made of these steels will be potentially weakly resistant to corrosion in the oil and gas condensate field. It is proposed to conduct tests of corrosion inhibitors from various manufacturers in laboratory and field conditions. Recommendations are given for the corrosion inhibitor selected according to the test results.

Tests were carried out on steel 20, the selected solutions were tested on pipe segments of 09G2S steels (well connections and loops) and J55LT (tubing) of 2 types (old, after operation in a well, and new, not operated). Studies have shown that steels used at OGCF (steel 20, J55LT and 09G2S) are not resistant to carbon dioxide corrosion. All items of equipment made of these steels will be potentially weakly resistant to corrosion in the oil and gas condensate field. It is proposed to conduct tests of corrosion inhibitors from various manufacturers in laboratory and field conditions. Recommendations are given for the corrosion inhibitor selected according to the test results.
Keywords: local corrosion; aggressiveness of the environment; metal resistance; well piping; plume; tubing; laboratory tests; autoclave tests.

Diagnosing of the presence of liquid inclusions in the gas pipelines
Due to the insufficiently effective gas drying in preparing it for further transport on the main pipeline in the composition of the gas remains a sufficient amount of fluid. The presence of liquid inclusions in the transported streams causes a nonequilibrium behavior of such systems, which is not taken into account in traditional calculation methods and increases the calculation error. Therefore, to select an adequate transfer mode, it is necessary to diagnose the internal structure of natural gas systems, which is the main task of studying this article. In working on the basis of a generalized model of motion of the relaxation medium in the pipeline by the introduction of the equation of the state for nonequilibrium gases, the calculated ratios are obtained to estimate the hydraulic and nonequilibrium parameters of the gas flow. In order to numerically implement these relations, a computational algorithm was drawn up and on the basis of the operational data of the actual gas pipeline obtained appropriate estimates. The results of the calculations were shown that both the density and the pressure relaxation times are rather significant. This indicates the presence of liquid inclusions in the transport stream. Thus, the authors proposed a numerically implemented procedure for diagnosing the presence of liquid inclusions in natural gases, which can be recommended for the use of services engaged in the operation of main gas pipelines.

Deposits of tight high viscosity heavy and waxy oil are becoming increasingly important in the world economy. They are also of particular importance in Russia, where the fields of easy accessible oil are practically depleted, and the newly discovered ones are located mainly in the northern latitudes of the country, which complicates their delivery to places of consumption, and use of so-called "special methods" (heating, chemical reagents) leadsytanb to an increase Cost. Despite the abundance of such methods, one can distinguish one of the most accessible and understandable from the point of view of the physico-chemical effect - dilution with hydrocarbon diluents, as can be effectively used by adding ready-made motor fuels and light distillates of oil, as well as - cheaper stable gas condensate, also co-produced in oil fields.In the present work, the experience of blending high viscosity heavy and congealing waxy oil with various types of hydrocarbon diluents has been considered with the aim of improving the operational properties of hydrocarbon crude, the transport and processing of which are associated with high costs due to the peculiarities of the composition and properties of the oil. The results of laboratory experiments on dilution of heavy and congealing oils with diesel fuel and stable gas condensate are given, on the basis of which recommendations on the effective usage these special methods.
Keywords: oil; rheology; effective viscosity; pour point; hydrocarbon diluent; stable gas condensate.

The cooling recycled water of petrochemical enterprises is characterized by high corrosion activity, unstable composition and, due to the evaporation of water in cooling towers, a constant increase in the concentration of dissolved salts, suspended particles and organic pollutants. Some of the salts formed by divalent metal ions fall out in the form of deposits, and the water is satu-rated with chlorine, sulfate, phosphate, and carbonations and becomes corrosive. At the same time, the corrosion activity of reservoir water varies widely depending on the saturation of cer-tain ions and other ingredients. It is established that monitoring the composition of recycled water and determining the corrosion rate of equipment and pipelines, carried out within 1-2 months, allow us to build a regression model of the dependence of the corrosion rate on the technical parameters of water, with which we can accurately calculate the values of the corrosion rate on the evaporation coefficient. Monitoring of technological environments and optimization of their composition through mathematical modeling will significantly improve the safety of equipment and pipelines operation at oil refining enterprises.
