The article analyzes in detail the issues of the technological mode of operation of wells of the Altyguyi gas condensate field. Increasing the technological regime, as well as providing conditions for better extraction of fluids (condensate and water) from the bottom of wells, as a result, will increase the economic indicators of development as a whole, which should correspond to the concept of reducing the duration of field development. The analysis of the current technical mode of operation of gas condensate wells of the Altyguyi field was carried out using the gas-hydrodynamic mode of operation of wells, as well as calculated indicators characterizing the process of retrograde condensation occurring both in the well and in the bottom (depression) zone of the formation. And also, discusses the design of gas condensate wells, as well as views on measures to ensure the required operating modes of wells. The established technological regime of wells should be understood as a set of the main parameters of its operation, ensuring the receipt of oil, liquid and gas samples provided for in the technological design document for this period and compliance with operating reliability conditions. The technological mode of wells provides regulation of the development process and is characterized by the following main parameters: a) formation, bottom-hole and wellhead pressures; b) fluid flow rate, water content and gas factor; c) the standard sizes of the installed operational equipment and its operating modes (elevator design, suspension depth and pump diameter, performance, number of swings, stroke length, developed pressure, etc.). When drawing up technological design documents for industrial development, the choice of design development options for comparison is made taking into account the features of the geological structure, reservoir and filtration characteristics of productive formations, the need to create conditions for maximum possible coverage of their impact and effective drainage, physico-chemical properties of saturating fluids, experience in the development of deposits with similar conditions, economic and geophysical features of the area, requirements for the protection of mineral resources and the environment. In all project documents, one of the considered development options is highlighted as a basic option. As a rule, it is an approved development option according to the latest project document, taking into account changes in the size of oil reserves. For large fields with wide water-oil and sub-gas zones containing significant oil reserves, design development options are considered with the allocation of these zones into independent development facilities. At the same time, design solutions for the systems of development, technology and techniques for the operation of wells in the oil, water and oil and gas parts of the fields should be interconnected.
