The modern idea of the geological structure of oil deposits of the Nizhnechutinskoye field is presented. The uniqueness of the field lies in the shallow depths of productive deposits. The oil-saturated layer is 100 m. The shallow depths of productive formations led to low formation temperature and pressure. Under such conditions, oil is inactive, characterized by high viscosity, and dissolved gas is practically absent. The features of the formation of the sedimentary cover in the area of the field predetermined the block structure, while the rocks of the productive horizon are characterized by a complex system of vertical fractures, which greatly complicates the process of oil recovery. A distinctive feature of the studied section of the field is the presence of effusive rocks underlying the main productive stratum and overlapping the lower productive layer.
The article systematizes the results of field trial operation, which revealed a number of complicating factors, which is associated primarily with the uniqueness of the geological structure of the studied deposits. Despite the solid history of studying the Nizhnechutinskoye field, which has almost 300 years, given the negligible depth of productive deposits, oil production at this field still remains a difficult task.
