An analysis was made of the development of sections of the D3ps formation of the Devonian terrigenous sequence of the Shkapovsky field, with a share of contact zones of more than 78%, which showed that the exploitation of deposits by vertical and deviated wells is unprofitable. Studies show that the development of reserves at the facility occurs along highly permeable interlayers located in the plantar. The construction of sectoral geological and hydrodynamic models showed a detailed distribution of residual oil reserves by area and section in areas with low production values.
When analyzing the parameters of the operation of wells with horizontal completion, it was found that the selection of mobile oil reserves localized in a volume limited by the plane of the initial oil-water contact and the surface formed by the rise of the oil-water contact when pulling the water cone to the wells with horizontal completion is comparable with the period of reaching a water cut of 95%. The volumetric method was used to calculate the moving oil reserves in the area of ​​water cone formation. It is recommended to drill wells with horizontal completion as an effective method of additional production of residual oil reserves in fields with similar geological and physical conditions.
