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 aim of this work was to establish the conditions of sedimentation of the vendian redkolesnaya formation within the Irkineevo-Chadobets rift zone in the southwest of the Siberian platform. The work is based on 184 thin section samples and 240 meters of core material from deep drilling wells of the Irkineevo-Chadobets rift zone, as well as stock material and the results of geophysical, lithological, petrophysical studies. According to the results of lithological and cyclostratigraphic studies, three sedimentary cyclites are distinguished in the volume of the redkolesnaya formation, having a transgressive structure, which is expressed in the change of sandy and siltstone rocks to sulfate-carbonate deposits in the roofing parts of the cyclites. The mineral composition contains fragments of quartz, feldspars, quartzites, and clay shales, the source of which was the metamorphic rocks of the Yenisei ridge, as well as igneous rocks of the Baikal anteclise arch. The latter were the main source for the deposits of the redkolesnaya formation. Based on the results of lithofacial analysis, it was revealed that the formation of deposits of the redkolesnaya formation occurred under the conditions of fluvial relief forms (a time-migrating cone) and salt marches in the zones of the supratidal, intertidal and subtidal, during the development of the Vendian transgression of the marine basin in the southwest of the Siberian Platform.

Abstract
The article presents an approach to modeling low-permeability, low-dissected zones of deep-water fan facies on the example of one of the licensed areas of the Priobskoye field, based on a significant reduction in correlation radii. Drilling of many horizontal wells (HWs) in the area under consideration made it possible to measure the average size of sand bodies. For a more reliable result, horizontal wells (HWs) were taken at an enormous distance from each other and from different parts of the field. The trajectory of the horizontal part of the wells penetrates parallel to the structural surfaces. In the study’s course, it is deemed that the average size of the bodies is 220 m. At the stage of hydrodynamic modeling,
a better convergence of well productivity dynamics was obtained than with the standard approach to building a model.
Materials and methods
Based on the results gamma ray from many densely spaced horizontal wells, work has been done to measure the average size of sand body lengths. Based on the goat values, the probability field was by investigated in variogram analysis at a shorter distance. Taking into account the new correlation radii and the nature of the distribution of reservoir properties in the distal part of the turbidite complex, a model is constructed that is close to real geology. Calculations of the hydrodynamic model were performed, the best convergence of well
productivity dynamics was obtained.

Abstract
In article the data according to above mention problem are published. The Fammenian carbonate deflections take part of upper Devonian-Tournaisian oil-gas complex among seven oil-gas complexes at platform Bashkortostan. Its deflections are bedding on thin Fran sediments and introduced, by essence, basic deflections of Paleozoic carbonate thick series. Depressions of Kamsko-Kinel System (KKS) and two paleo-shelf (Bashkir and Tatar) define tectonic framework of Fammenian carbonate. Analysis was given on date of three representative oil fields. Most conclusions are following. Dynamic regime of sedimentation had different mechanism into separate zones to KKS depressions. At Western part of contemporary Bashkir arch and contemporary Birsk saddle large barrier reefs and companying local reefs are not productivity. But above its local structures into Terrigenous
Low Carbon (TTLC) contain unique, large, middle and little oil fields. It means that Fammenian plan controlled upper structure plans in territory KKS depressions. In other parts of KKS depression dynamic regime of sedimentation, opportunity into South-Western party of Aktanysh-Chishma Depression, the ring sandstone TTLC formations are formed around local Fammenian-Tournal reef. The new, unknown up to oil fields ÒÒLC are contains into its. Above mention predication don’t corresponds to Bashkir and Tatar paleo-shelfs as a one’s organic buildings (OB) have minimal volume and amplitude, and tectonic regime corresponded to normal sedimentary. Oil-gas deposits on paleo-shelfs are small.
Further oil-gas perspective will associated with: zones of increase thickness Fammenian carbonates on north-west – particularly in regions of cross Paleozoic sedimentary with foundation steps. Than the perspectives will connection with local regions of “sault tectonic” into Salmuysh
depression and with prognostication zones anomaly low sheet pressure.
Materials and methods
The main emphasis of the work is a geological paradox: at the base of carbonate bodies, which are of enormous size (barrier reefs) and, accordingly, the expected large capacity for the generation and creation of hydrocarbons, there are no signs of a creative “kitchen” for the reactions of hydrocarbon synthesis (or other mechanism of hydrocarbon
origin).

Abstract
The Upper Devonian deposits of the Volga-Ural oil and gas province are promising for oil exploration. An important factor in predicting the development of traps is the presence or absence of seal rocks. The relevance of the topic is the ability to predict the distribution of seal rocks using well logging methods and, consequently, increase the efficiency of exploration work. The article presents a technique for separating fluid seals from well log data, based on lithological study of the core and confirmed by test results. As a result of the analysis, boundary values were obtained for various geophysical parameters, which make it possible to distinguish impermeable strata.
Materials and methods
The technique was created on the basis of data from 15 deposits of the Volga-Ural region, more than 500 linear meters were studied core from non-reservoir intervals. Wells with a direct sign of the presence of a seal were taken as reference: where, according to the results of testing, below the interval of development of the seal, oil was obtained,
and above – formation water. Lithological differentiation was carried out on the basis of logging methods, the thickness was determined, and the main parameters were calculated.

Abstract
The value of the work lies in the developed methodology for predicting zones with improved reservoir properties of the VK1 formation within the Kamenny (western part) license area of the Krasnoleninskoye oil and gas condensate field. The development of this area is complicated by the presence of extensive oil-water zones, low oil saturation, average reservoir properties, as well as high heterogeneity of the reservoir, the presence of an incised valley and tectonic disturbances. Thus, the forecasting of promising areas is of great practical importance, since the economic efficiency of the well stock, the drilling of wells along the reservoir, the change in drilling goals, the planning and success of geological
and technical measures depend on the prediction.
