Innovative solutions to ensure project level of gas production
The paper discusses the quality perfection of hydrocarbon fields’ development through the use of a set of innovative approaches aimed at providing gas production at the project level and improving the efficiency of a wells fund operation. The problems that complicate the work of gas production objects are analyzed. The purpose, tasks of geological-technical measures (GTM), being the integral part of the control system over fields development, are defined. The main types of activities, comprised by GTM complex, are considered. It is shown that the efficiency of carrying out geological and technical measures depends on the innovative components that reflect the share of innovative production and innovation profit in a gas company’s total amount, that is the innovations implementation when projecting should be technologically feasible and economically profitable. It is determined that the main functions of GTM control systems are planning, organizing, controlling and accounting. With account of the fact that the implementation of innovative approaches in the projects is always accompanied by certain risks associated with specific features of wells, being a complex engineering structure, the risk factors should be taken into consideration and predicted at the planning stage. The necessity of development and implementation of innovative technical solutions which allow enhancing recovery of gas fields, being at the latest stage of their development, and making the basis of the program of commercial objects reconstruction is proved.
