Using the method of analogies to increase the further development efficiency of the Devonian productive facilities of the Tuymazy and Bavly oil fields

Abstract

The authors of the article, in order to widely use the successful experience of applying technologies for the further «mature» oil fields of the Volga-Ural oil and gas province (VUOGP) development and reducing the risks of making low-efficiency decisions, propose to combine fields into groups based on the use of factor analysis. The results of formation groups associated with various stratigraphic elements within the Tuymazinsky and Bavlinskoye oil fields identification are presented. The cross-use of technologies that have shown their effectiveness in the residual reserves’ development is proposed. The features of the geological-physical and physical and chemical properties of the layers and the saturating them fluids within the facility groups for successful technologies replication at the VUOGP deposits are highlighted. Keywords: carbonate and terrigenous deposits; residual oil reserves; geological and physical; factor analysis; analogy method; risk reduction.
