Development of hard-to-recover reserves - the main task of the future

The distribution of hard-to-recover reserves in view of global statistics is given. Carbonate hydrocarbon reservoirs and problems of their development, existing models of the fluid flow in these reservoirs, as well as a fundamentally new mathematical model for a fractured reservoir well are considered. The attention is paid to hydraulic fracturing, factors affecting the efficiency of this event, including the number of cracks and their disclosure are considered. The technique of the process of hydrodynamic modeling in the development of hydrocarbon fields is described in brief, the developed software package for numerical simulation is presented.
