This research aims to analyze problems related to resources, reserves and development of Bazhenov-Abalak oil and gas play and to find geological and technological solutions for bringing reserves into development commercially. This should stabilize oil production in Okrug on the level 210–215 million of tons. Geological, field and statistical data from V.I. Shpilman Research and Analytical Centre for the Rational Use of the Subsoil and Department of Subsurface Management & Natural Resources of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra were retrospectively analyzed during this research.
Oil production from Bazhenov-Abalak play using conventional technologies is still sub economic. Running experimental areas and test ranges for industrial approval of development efficiency enhancement technologies for Bazhenov-Abalak play are created on producing fields. Unfortunately, accumulated experience ends up inside oil companies. Undoubtedly, single initiatives of oilmen will not solve a problem of development of huge resources in Bazhenov formation.
