Effectiveness of intensification in oil production

A.M. Myrzagalina

The bowels of the earth are the major factor of oil-gas industry characterized with the value, quality and costs of recovery of hydrocarbon reserves. The main feature of oil production is the limitation and irreplacability of oil-gas reserves, the availability of which attaches special importance to the issues of oil-gas field rational development. The intensification represents a complex of geological, technical and technological actions that allow increasing hydrocarbon production. Due to the high level of produced oil drowning and decrease of well flow rate, intensification of oil-gas production is of current interest for fields on second or third stage of operation.
