§1 SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY
DEVELOPMENT OF OIL FIELDS

1.1 Object, system and technology development

Oil field development includes the following steps needed
to bring the oil to the surface:
1. Drilling over a reservoir.
2. Control of the movement of oil and gas to the wells by
proper spacing patterns and operating conditions.
3. Reservoir energy control.
The development of oil fields offers a set of measures
related to the drilling of wells, control filtration flows into the
reservoir, the location of wells, setting the mode of operation of
wells.
The "system development" - commonly understood set
of activities carried out in the fields, comprising: 1) drilling
deposit; 2) control filtration flows in the reservoir by placing the
wells and the default mode of operation; 3) the regulation of
energy balance reservoir by pumping water or gas; 4) the rise of
liquid from bottomhole to the surface.
The object development is artificially allocated within
the technological field of education (layer, an array, a set of layers)
which contains reserves of hydrocarbons are extracted from the
depths of a defined group of wells (Fig. 1.1, Table 1.1).
Main features of the object - its industrial presence in
the oil wells and the group with which it developed.
