The technology is used in the Toumasian deposit of high-viscosity oil of the Mishkinskoye field. The oil pool is represented by massive natural reservoir with formation thickness of carbonate reservoirs ranging from 4 to 40 meters. The thermal polymer flood process using 7-spot pattern has been introduced for this productive formation since 1980-s, which made it possible to achieve high current oil recovery of 42 - 43 %.
With the purpose of re-extraction of Brief description of oil fields residual resources, a novel technology ensuring the continuation of injection of in Udmurt Republic hot polymer solution and further development of the formation by means of horizontal bores system, i.e. new ho- 103 oil fields discovered rizontal wells and horizontal side-tracks 32 fields brought on stream from noncommercial, highly waterencroached producers, has been applied 79.5 % of the explored reserves involved in in this field since 1994. development Geological knowledge of Udmurt Republic As a result, the productivity of newly territory – 66.0 % drilled wells has been enhanced essen- 78 % of oil reserves under development are tially, by 3 - 4 times, and the confined to carbonate reservoirs; 22 % to "rejuvenation" of noncommercial well terrigenous reservoirs stock has been achieved in parallel with the increase of oil withdrawal rate and More than 70 % of total oil reserves in recovery ratio.
