Usinskoye field is located in Komi Republic. The Permian reservoir of the field has high-viscosity oil and is developed using thermal recovery methods.
Commissioned in 2016, the 100 MW Usa power generating center operates at the Usinskoye field, providing an independent source of power supply to production facilities and the Denisovskaya Depression fields.
Various oil recovery technologies are used at the field such as drilling of directional production wells and construction of horizontal wells, including for the application of the steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) technology.
The
introduction of day rate contracts helped achieve record commercial drilling
speed. New small-diameter well designs
demonstrated good drilling efficiency. A
full-scale rollout of this technology will yield significant capital
expenditures savings due to the high number of wells planned for drilling at
the field.
Oil recovery factor is also positively affected by the dispersed injection of steam in the areas of steam treatment, the operations of cyclic steam injection in certain production wells including combined treatment with chemical injection.
