On average designed producible oil index

Key words: oil recovery factor, hard to recover reserves, design project, new technologies.

The problems on enhanced oil recovery in fields of Russia are considered. The dynamics of the average producible oil recovery factor taking into account commercial development of fields and increasing the share of hard-to-recover reserves is given. It is shown that the carrying out of geological and technical measures, the use of enhanced oil recovery and stimulation oil production methods contribute to producible oil index growth, but require significant costs. The necessity of government regulation and promotion of activities, aimed at producible oil index increasing, is marked.
