As it is known, estimation of recoverable reserves of gas dissolved in oil on exploration stage is associated with some complications, arising in the definition of final formation pressure at the end of development and in accordance with it, the definition of gas factor. In the evaluation of mentioned factors during the process of capacity definition of gas dissolved in oil at the end of development, certain incompatibilities appear. Some researchers suggest to accept final formation pressure at the end of development as 1 MPa. It is of conditional character, since the practice of oil fields exploration shows that final formation pressure significantly differs from 1 MPa. The regime of field exploration is the major factor affecting capacity of recoverable reserves of gas, dissolved in oil.
