INTRODUCTION

The development of oil fields is called the implementation
of a scientifically based process of extracting oil and gas from the
depths. The development process consists of drilling the field and
developing oil and gas reserves.
"Technology of oil fields development" course - is the
field of applied science, as an academic discipline refers to
engineering. It provides not only a quality description of the field,
but also the quantitative characteristics of the process of extracting
oil and gas from the layer. It includes the sections about systems
and technologies of development, planning and designing
development, actualizing of design solutions, control, analysis and
regulation of oil fields development.
The theoretical basis for the development of oil fields are
the fundamental principles of the oil layer physics and
underground hydro-gas mechanics.
It is difficult to imagine the development of oil fields
without geology and geophysics and also without studying the
geological structure of the field. It also relies on the important
principles of physics and chemistry, mathematical physics, and
borehole operation technology.
Design and implementation of the development of oil
fields are subordinated to a single goal and require a single
methodology that allows you to link all the knowledge about the
oil deposit and about the processes occurring inside it during
extraction of liquid and gas.
One of the major achievements in the oil field
development theory was the determination of the main forces
driving oil and gas to the bottom of a borehole, i.e. the foundation
of the theory of oil field modes.
The technology of oil field development is an intensively
expanding area of science. Its further development will be
