Rescarch of dependence of complications arising during development process on offshore oil-gas fields from operation efficiency of wells

N. B. Nuriyev

Impact of complications arising during offshore oil-gas fields development process on operation efficiency of wells was investigated in the article. It is obvious that when detailed design of offshore oil-gas fields development is drawn operation period of hydraulic facilities is taken as a primary factor. While complications increase development period of field on one hand, ending of operation period of hydraulic facilities causes very serious problems. Practice shows that hydraulic facilities on fields operated offshore are out of service in majority of cases, but there are still enough resources which may be extracted from field. Additional measures should be implemented in order to extract these resources, which lead to increase of operation expenses. In order to solve such an actual problem, it is proposed to carry out complex measures for increasing the rate of extraction of field resources, besides increasing operation period of hydraulic facilities.
