Strategia poiskov, razvedki i razrabotki mestorozdenij uglevodorodov v Respublike Belarus’

Strategy of prospecting, exploration and development of hydrocarbon fields in the Republic of Belarus is closely connected with the current state of hydrocarbon resource base. Reserve recovery of the fields that provide main oil production reaches 80=90%. More than 64% of the remaining recoverable reserves are presented by hard-to-recover reserves. Growth of re- serves by means of exploration makes up for annual production only by 50-70%. In this respect main task in the area of exploration works is improvement of geological exploration efficiency by means of application of advanced technologies and non-conventional for Belarusian region approaches to selection and evaluation of prospecting and exploration directions. In the area of field development main task is large-scale implementation of new technologies for production activation and oil recovery enhancement by 10=15% of hard-to-recover reserves. Approaches to solving these problems are shown.
