This paper presents the results of geological and production analysis of development and reserves of the pilot area using the results of dynamic marker monitoring of horizontal wellbores of production wells using high-precision indicators. As part of the research, the geological structure of the reservoir section was updated, which includes a lithological and facial analysis and geological and hydrodynamic simulation of the reservoir. The energy state of the reservoir was analyzed and the efficiency of the waterflood system was evaluated using dynamic data analysis and correlation analysis. The reasons for changes in the dynamics of inflow profiles over time have been analyzed. By the example of the pilot area the decision-making algorithm for adjusting the process of hydrocarbon reserves extraction, based on the analysis of the relevant geological and technical information, obtained during the long-term dynamic marker monitoring of the horizontal wells operation, has been implemented. A set of recommendations has been developed, which makes it possible to achieve stable dynamics of development indicators, to increase the coefficients of coverage by displacement in the area and the reservoir section, to involve previously undrained areas of oil reserves in the development. The results of the analysis of the efficiency of the implemented geological and technological measures are presented.
