Interpretation of dynamic parameters of local anomalies of refracted waves
The «common contour point» (CCP) technique for finding oil and gas deposits is based on identifying simple local minima on the graphs of the amplitude and energy of seismic waves passing through the reservoir. Simple local minima according to the CCP technique are provided by the identification of crossline profile geophones, the stability of the critical angle of the refracted wave, minor changes in the geometric divergence of seismic waves and the source-receiver distance. Other anomalies caused by local inhomogeneities of the geological environment are overcome based on the correlation of the dynamic parameters of waves recorded from different directions in the crossline profile. The article experimentally demonstrates obtaining simple minima by eliminating the distorting effect of local heterogeneity in the upper part of the section, determining the corresponding characteristic points of minima, as well as the contour and depth of the predicted reservoir.
Keywords: oil and gas reservoir; direct search; seismic wave amplitude; local anomaly; «Common contour poin» technique.

The article presents the results of studying the relationship between the distribution of oil and gas fields with tectonic factors. It is shown that the quantitative distribution of hydrocarbon deposits depends on the type of neotectonic elements: the maximum falls on stepped zones (31%) and monoclines (22%). In fault zones - 10-15%, in anticlinal zones, uplifts and depressions - 5-7% of the total number of deposits. Based on the analysis of variance, it was found that the strength of the influence of the amplitude of neotectonic movements on the formation of effective volumes of oil, oil and gas and gas deposits is about 40-50% of the total amount of influencing factors. Two independent intervals of the amplitudes of the neotectonic movements, which differ in the nature of the dependence, are noted.
Keywords: neotectonics; deposits; oil and gas; quantitative analysis; analysis of variance; influence; distribution; effective volume.

A modeling of the inertia properties of a drill string section as a continual bent rotating rod
The article considers the problem of determining the moment of inertia of the bent rotating section of the drill string. The tasks of such a plan are of paramount importance for the dynamic analysis of drill strings in rotary and rotaryturbine drilling methods. Presented are the exact and approximate analytical dependences for determining the moment of inertia of the bent section of the drill string, depending on the geometric parameters of its deflection. Given the scientific and practical interest in the use of pipes made of non-traditional materials, the moments of inertia for bent sections of steel, titanium, aluminum and fiberglass drill pipes are calculated. The nature of the change in the moment of inertia of sections of drill pipes of different diameters depending on the length of the half-wave and the magnitude of the maximum deflection is established.
Keywords: drill string; rod; moment of inertia; deflection boom; deflection half-wave length.

Deep diversion strategy of the displacement front during oil reservoirs watering
The goal of this research is to develop formulations for blocking highly permeable zones using cheap, traditional reagents and materials, and to determine the dependence of the position of the blocking screen on the degree of watering of the oil formation in order to maximize the efficiency of oil displacement. Using readily available chemical reagents and biosystems, technology for generating a stable foam system with adjustable rheological properties and providing deep alignment of the displacement front has been developed. In the study, the required penetration depth of the proposed foam system to achieve the maximum effect at different water cuttings was determined; moreover, the effect of pressure on the stability of the foam system generated as a result of decomposition of the biosystem was studied, and the significant effect of gas saturation on the rheology of the foam system was confirmed. It was further established that with a high water-cut (more than 90%), isolation was most effective in the production wells. At a 50% water cut, the deep diversion of the injected fluid gave promising results, however, the best results were achieved using isolation near the discharge line immediately after the water breakthrough in the production wells.

This article presents the results and interpretation of the compositional and isotopic analysis of carbon in 14 gas samples derived from oil and gas fields and structures (Liman, East Makat, North Kotyrtas, Zholamanov, S. Nurzhanov and West Prorva) of the southern part of Pre-Caspian basin. According to the results of this study, all gases have a thermogenic source and their organic matters were deposited in the marine environment, which is also consistent with the results of biomarker analysis of oils from these studied fields. A sharp enrichment of propane with heavy carbon isotope in gas №55 of East Makat field suggests its biodegradation, which is also confirmed by the results of gas chromatographic analysis of oil from this well. A star diagram of gases was plotted based on normalized values of carbon isotopic composition of C1-C5, according to the results of which the studied samples can be divided into 5 genetically different groups. The identified groups based on results of this gas analysis are also consistent with the results of «fingerprinting» of oil from these fields.
Keywords: gas composition; gas isotopic composition; Rayleigh fractionation; Bernard diagram; Clayton diagram; Laurent diagram; Chung diagram; enrichment in heavy isotope.

The paper summarizes the experimental results on gas-condensate mixtures densities change at pressures higher than the dew point curve in free volume and in porous medium. Based on the experiments conducted, gas-condensate mixture density reduction effect at pressures exceeding the dew point pressure was revealed, and this effect is related to a new phase nuclei formation, or nucleation. The obtained results allow clarifying the new phase micronuclei formation and development mechanism in the gas-condensate systems at pressures above the dew point pressure.
Keywords: gas-condensate; nucleation; dew point pressure; density; porous media.

About improving the efficiency of the development of gas condensate deposits with oil rims
On the basis of a two-phase two-dimensional mathematical model, the process of developing gas condensate fields with oil springs was investigated during the implementation of the technological approach, according to which the gas extracted from the gas cap returns to the oil part after separation by injection wells drilled in oil-water contacts. It has been established that the injection of separated gas into water-oil contact reduces the value of residual oil saturation in the flushed zone with gas, since not only mobile oil evaporates, but also capillary bound, increasing the displacement ratio, and, ultimately, the efficiency of reservoir development is ensured.
Keywords: Gas condensate reservoir with oil spills; Injection of separated gas; Oil recovery coefficient; Potential condensate content; Stable and evaporated oil production.

The paper proposes a technique for interpreting the results of hydrodynamic studies of volatile and non-volatile oil wells at two steady-state regimes in order to determine the initial value and coefficient of variation in effective permeability of the reservoir. It is developed based on a binary filtration model, where the hydrocarbon system is represented as consisting of two pseudocomponents and two phases, between which mass transfer of hydrocarbons takes place. The proposed methodology requires well flow rates measured at two different steady-state well conditions for two different reservoir pressures and thermodynamic data of the hydrocarbon system at reservoir conditions. The methodology has been validated using examples of hypothetical volatile and non-volatile oil reservoirs at different rock deformation ratios and for nondeformable reservoirs. It has also been tested under different development stages and measurement conditions. For this purpose, a computer simulation of the oil reservoir depletion process was carried out, the results of which were used as well test data. Satisfactory accuracy and reliability of the outlined approach has been established. As deviations of calculated values of required parameters from their actual values did not exceed 8%.
Keywords: permeability; reservoir deformation; data interpretation; üell test; coefficient of permeability variation; volatile oil.

Innovative developments of sucker rod pumps to improve the performance of sand producing wells
At the last stage of oil field development, the use of sucker rod pumps is widespread. Due to the drop in formation pressure and other reasons, the inflow of fluid into the well is reduced. The efficiency of the pumps decreases, the pump cylinder is not completely filled. To eliminate these obstacles, a new submersible pump has been developed with a intake valve, which opens and closes with the movement of the balance head. In flooded and sandy wells, sand destroys the working parts of the pump, especially the gap between the plunger-cylinder pair, as a result reduced productivity of the pump. The new pump design allows solving the problem by emulsifying part of the product. The operation of the pump is mathematically justified.

This article gives a relatively new interpretation of the characteristic phenomenon of "phase inversion" in water-oil emulsions, created on the basis of non-Newtonian oils from fields in Azerbaijan. An analysis of the results obtained showed that an increase in the water-cut threshold in these emulsions has a strong effect on their rheological characteristics and leads to noticeable microstructural changes.
Keywords: non-newtonian oils; formation flooding; oil-water emulsion; relative viscosity; phase inversion; dispersion.

A multifunctional reagent based on technical phosphatide and monoethanolamine has been developed to inhibit corrosion and erosion in the system of field pipelines, as well as to reduce the viscosity of oil. The optimal consumption of an inhibitor is recommended to take 500 mg/l. In this case, the corrosion protection effect is 94%, and the destruction efficiency of sulfate-reducing bacteria is 98%. Studies have shown that the same amount of reagent prevents the process of paraffin deposition and reduces the viscosity of the oil. The results of field tests showed that when using the reagent, the corrosion rate decreased on average from 0.6726 g/m2 · hour to 0.0631 g/m2· hour, while the protective effect was 91%. In addition, this reagent, by reducing the viscosity of oil and reducing hydraulic losses, lowers the flow pressure from 0.14 to 0.1 MPa, which contributes to an increase in the efficiency and integrity of the transport system.
Keywords: environment; reagent; aggressive environment; corrosion; viscosity; paraffin deposition.

Mathematical models for assessing the investment attractiveness of oil companies
The article is devoted to the development of economic and mathematical tools for assessing the level of investment attractiveness of oil companies. It is noted that the oil industry is the driver of economic development of any country. The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a significant problem of instability in the Russian oil sector. This problem is of a strategic nature and its solution requires the activation of investment in the oil complex enterprises and, as a result, the development and use of model tools to assess the level of investment attractiveness of investment objects. The economic and mathematical model proposed in this article is based on the application of the mathematical apparatus of fuzzy logic and allows us to give a quantitative assessment of the investment climate of oil companies when operating with qualitatively defined characteristics (multipliers).
Keywords: Oil companies; Investment attractiveness; Mathematical model; Soft computing; Fuzzy logic.
