Abstract
The article deals with the techniques of kinematic and dynamic analysis of time sections of the common depth point method (CDPM) in combination with the data of gravity and magnetic exploration. Seismic velocity, as a petrophysical indicator of precipitation characteristics, is closely related to lithology, porosity, density, permeability, oil and water saturation. Magnetic prospecting finds application in the identification and tracing of discontinuous violations of the foundation, in predicting the distribution areas of hydrocarbon traps that are genetically related to zones of tectonic fracturing. The fracture zone is a weakened section of the section characterized by a density deficit, in the local gravity field it is reflected by negative anomalies of ∆g loc. The performed research allows the authors to conclude about the high efficiency of the proposed methods of complex reinterpretation of geophysical data in the search for oil deposits in the terrigenous devonian on the territory of Tatarstan.
Materials and methods
The work uses materials of geological exploration, in particular the results of exploration geophysics for the search for hydrocarbon accumulations. A comprehensive reinterpretation and comparison of data makes it possible to increase the probability of detecting new hydrocarbon deposits.

Abstract
In the process of creating geological models of oil deposits in order to assess hydrocarbon reserves, problems arise in substantiating the hypsometric position of the OWC surface (oil-water contact). The analysis of geological and geophysical materials shows that in nature there are practically no deposits where the surface of the OWC could be represented as a horizontal surface. The article discusses the regularities of the position of the water-oil contact of the reservoir of the productive formation U1 of the Festivalnoye field, identified in the process of geological modeling based on the analysis of the oil and gas bearing system.

Abstract
A technique of paleotectonic analysis was applied to restore the tectonic development of the southern part of the Mansiysk syneclise, taking into account rock compaction effect. It has been quantitatively confirmed that the main increase in the amplitude of structures of the southern part of the Mansiysk syneclise occurred in Cretaceous; during the Cenozoic stage of the development of the territory, there was no a significant increase in the amplitude of the structure. The results of the tectonic development analysis are a basis for reconstructions of naftidogenesis processes and a forecast of oil and gas fields.

Abstract
To analyze the development of an oil field, many different tools are used, such as field-geophysical studies, hydrodynamic studies, permanent geological and technological models, etc. At the same time, the information obtained from the results of hydrogeochemical analysis, which carries valuable data on the ongoing processes in the reservoir, including in individual wells, is often not fully used. The authors of the article propose a mathematical tool for analyzing hydrogeochemical data, which allows analyzing the processes of reservoir flooding, including existing problems. The essence of the method is to identify deviations of the component composition when mixing reservoir and injected water. This analysis makes it possible to identify a discrepancy between the percentage of components and the volume percentage of injected and reservoir water, which gives additional information about the flooding process, as well as possible problems in the wells. This method does not require any additional costs for special studies and uses standard hydrogeochemical information obtained in the field. The proposed approach can serve as an additional tool for analyzing the development of oil fields.
Materials and methods
The analysis of hydrogeochemical data is carried out using the mathematical tool proposed by the authors. Possible deviations (behind-the-casing flows, water interactions with the rock and with each other, etc.) occurring in wells during flooding have been identified.

Abstract
In the course of the work, structural maps were constructed and analyzed on the surfaces of the horizons of the lower and middle carboniferous, as well as maps of the isopachite local uplift of one of the deposits of Tatarstan. Three separate domes, northern, central and eastern, have been installed on the studied uplift of the deposit. To determine the sequence of development of a number of surfaces, when constructing paleostructural maps, the authors used the “isopachic triangle” method, according to the constructed maps, the authors received information about the movements, structural forms and the relationship of these forms at different stages of geological history.
Materials and methods
According to logging diagrams and conclusions of well interpretation, the values of the absolute roof marks of the vereyan, bashkirian, tulian, bobrikovian, tournaian and upino-malevian sediments were removed. Structural maps, as well as isopachite maps between the deposits of the middle and lower carboniferous, were constructed from the removed chops. By using the “isopachic triangle” method, the sequence of the development of the roof surfaces of horizons on the constructed structural maps and isopachite maps is determined.

Abstract
The waters of the neocomian aquifer complex, which includes the waters of the Achimov strata of the AS group of the deposit N, are characterized by a small number of deep samples with a significant spread of mineralization. Therefore, an additional analysis of wellhead samples of produced water was carried out, which showed that the initial sample was noisy due to mixing of formation water with process fluids injected into the formation and water of the waterflooding system. After screening out incorrect samples, the rest of the data indicates a weaker mineralization compared to the accepted one. This indicates the presence of uncertainty in the value of formation water salinity at this field and the need for additional, better sampling of deep water samples.
Materials and methods
As a material for analysis, wellhead samples of produced water, the results of pore water analysis on a preserved core are used. Data processing is carried out by methods of mathematical statistics using the MATLAB software product.

Abstract
The development of hard-to-recover reserves with reservoir permeability less than 0,5 mD poses challenges for specialists to increase the profitability of oil production. The main direction of solving this problem is to increase productivity by drilling horizontal wells with a liner length of more than 1 000 m and performing multi-stage hydraulic fracturing. The design and implementation of promising designs of hydraulic fracturing fractures requires new approaches to assess their predictive productivity. Existing analytical and numerical methods for calculating predicted productivity use average fracture parameters. In practice, designs are often characterized by complex geometry and uneven distribution of conductivity in the volume of the hydraulic fracture. The use of incorrect algorithms for determining the average parameters of fractures leads to a significant deviation of the dynamics of the actual well flow rate from the calculated one. This leads to the use of non-optimal designs during hydraulic fracturing and a decrease in the profitability of extraction from hard-to-recover resources. To improve the quality of evaluation of hydraulic fracturing design efficiency, a technique for integrating a hydraulic fracturing simulator and a hydrodynamic simulator has been developed, which allows performing a correct calculation of well productivity.
Materials and methods
To solve the problem, the work proposes:
• designing perspective designs in hydraulic fracturing simulator;
• import of designed designs into hydrodynamic simulator;
• calculation of well productivity with designed hydraulic fractures in a hydrodynamic simulator;
• selection of an effective design for pilot testing and implementation.

Abstract
Offshore Arctic hydrocarbon fields’ development in the Russian Federation using subsea production systems is determined by a wide range of different factors.
It is proposed to consider the architecture of the field development as a 3D model with extended and concentrated objects, including wells, subsea completion of wells, pipelines and other elements of the subsea production systems.
The necessity and possibility of using optimization approaches for designing the architecture of a hydrocarbon deposit’ subsea development in arctic conditions is shown.
The practical implementation of the method for searching for the optimal architecture of the development of the Arctic field for the generalized case – “field with several deposits” is performed on the basis of a previously developed search algorithm on a 3D model for the optimal configuration of subsea production systems and wells between two points based on the Bellman-Ford optimality principle and the Lee algorithm.

The article presents the results of determining a more effective well construction for the area improved reservoir properties of zones in the ring structures of carbonate reservoir. This reservoir is characterized by low permeability and high compartmentalization. The stratum is actually developed by directional and horizontal wells. Based on the analysis of well efficiency the productivity of horizontal wells is higher the productivity of directional wells. In order to assess the development prospects, a full-scale reservoir simulation model (dynamic flow model) was created for prediction simulations. Based on the results of reservoir model simulation, it was found that the best method for drilling is the MLT.

The article presents the experience of calculating the potential for reducing water production, developed as part of a project to reduce the cost of lifting well products. The idea of the work is to calculate the probability and volume of water production exceeding the level of current production of oil reserves. It is assumed that the positive difference between the actual and theoretical water cut calculated from the production of oil reserves in the well determines the potential for reducing water production and is associated with extraction from an inappropriate interval, or with a violation of the integrity of the well structure, or with water breakthroughs through highly permeable layers, or cone formation. The probability of extraction of “foreign water” is estimated by the degree of compliance with the signs of abnormal flooding.

Abstract
The industry looks for new steel types, as requirements for steel strength properties in corrosion environment are becoming more stringent. Duplex stainless steels have a chance to become the most advantageous material for a number of industries. The technical interest in these alloys is due to the improvement of steel production technology, as producers found an opportunity to control nitrogen content more precisely.
The paper highlights a need to study joints weldability and corrosion resistance to hydrogen sulfide stress cracking (HSC), hydrogen
cracking (HC), intercrystalline Corrosion (ICC), knife-line attack (KLA), and pitting corrosion to assess the possibility of using duplex steels in the production of structures designed for operation in corrosion environment.

Abstract
Since the 1950s, the gas industry has encountered pipeline accidents that could be related to the presence of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Natural gases represent a mixture of individual gases (components), predominantly consisting of saturated hydrocarbons. At the same time, natural gas may contain up to 18–25 % of hydrogen sulfide, up to 25 % of carbon dioxide, and small volumes of nitrogen and hydrogen. The article studies conditions and impact factors, when hydrogen sulfide causes destruction of pipelines made of steels of various grades. The paper proves that steels with a duplex structure are more resistant to hydrogen cracking and hydrogen sulfide stress corrosion cracking.
Materials and methods
The study considers duplex steels with good weldability, relatively high yield and strength limits regarding satisfactory ductility and impact strength. This provides less specific metal consumption in the manufacture of structures calculated for strength due to a decrease in the sheet thickness.
