Abstract
The uniqueness of fresh underground waters of the cryolithozone in the West Siberia north used for drinking purposes is in their low ultra-fresh mineralization. These waters even in the absence of the anthropogenic pollution negatively affect the population’s health. It is proved that natural factors play a significant role in these waters composition formation. Therefore, these factors in-depth study becomes the most important task of researches.

Abstract
In this work a method is proposed for estimation of spatial distribution of predicted structural uncertainty.This estimation is made by a deterministic way during the analysis of internal convergence of the seismic method data. The errors in determination of kinematic parameters, namely time and velocity, are estimated. The estimates of external convergence of seismic data with drilling data are taken into account. As a result, a map of standard deviation of structural imaging is calculated which then is used to construct a map of a structural closure probability (risk).

Abstract
The aspects of ecology safety related to operation of underground fresh waters intake facilities aimed at maintenance of reservoir pressure at development of oil fields are discussed in the article. When speaking about a change of the fresh underground waters state in the process of their use the authors imply the produced water quality degradation (pollution of productive water-bearing intervals); lowering of the water level in the reservoir (damage of hydrodynamic conditions, depression cone formation). The main, most significant factors determining the change, mentioned above, include inadequacy to meet the normative requirements toward the technical condition of wells of different purposes and the adjacent territory, absence of systematic control of the produced water quality and the impact of the produced fluid (water, oil, gas) quantity on the level conditions of the underground fresh waters. The suggested ways for optimization of these factors and the methods of control will permit to improve the ecology safety of the discussed above waters use.

DRILLING OF WELLS AND FIELDS DEVELOPMENT
34-38 611
Abstract
In the article the methods are considered related to the gas wells recovery in the conditions of the final stage of the Cenomanian reservoir development characterized by a hydrocarbons production decline due to a number of factors. These factors include the reservoir pressure drop, production water cut increase, degradation of development well stock and conversion of these wells to idle ones and further to their restoring repair. Based on the analysis of traditional workover methods and their low efficiency causes there were developed additional criteria, which indicate the necessity of improvement of the existing well workover methodology.

Abstract
The article discusses the issue dedicated to increasing the effectiveness of the formation hydraulic fracturing (FHF) implemented for the Achimov deposits, Urengoyskoe field, in the conditions of abnormal reservoir pressures. Based on the experience in FHF operations gained in the fields of West Siberia it is proposed to apply as a proppant the non-radioactive marked agent. It is shown that the offered NR proppant technology has proved to be a new and effective tool for estimation of the FHF fracture geometry, as well as a safe means due to absence of the radiation source together with the technological process simplicity and precision of the data obtained.

Abstract
It is shown that Upper Cenomanian deposits are considered among the main productive formations for development for gas production. These deposits are presented by poor cemented reservoirs. The problem of Cenomanian wells operation is said to be related with sand production and formation of sand plugs in the borehole which leads to the flow rate decline. According to the authors, realizing certain geological and engineering actions aimed at removing the above damages will enable to maintain the stability of the bottomhole formation zone and prevent a gas production decline. It is mentioned that at present to control sand production a number of physicochemical, mechanical methods or their combinations are applied.

Abstract
The rectangular parallelepiped explicit difference schemes for the numerical solution of the complete built system of Navier-Stokes equations. These solutions describe the three-dimensional flow of a compressible viscous heat-conducting gas in a rising swirling flows, provided the forces of gravity and Coriolis. This assumes constancy of the coefficient of viscosity and thermal conductivity. The initial conditions are the features that are the exact analytical solution of the complete Navier-Stokes equations. Propose specific boundary conditions under which the upward flow of gas is modeled by blowing through the square hole in the upper surface of the computational domain. A variant of parallelization algorithm for calculating gas dynamic and energy characteristics. The results of calculations of gasdynamic parameters dependency on the speed of the vertical blowing by the time the flow of a steady state flow.

Abstract
The paper considers the study of oil and water mixing zone at these fluids successive pumping through field pipelines. It was defined that the actual amount of water and oil mixing during these fluids successive pumping through the field pipelines was less compared with the amount of mixing when pumping the oil refining products. This situation was investigated to understand what caused a decrease in mixing intensity as well as a reduction in the mixture amounts at introducing the method of successive pumping from the flooded well.

Abstract
The article provides an overview of the scientific works aimed at study of the destruction and damage of drilling roller bits cutting structure. The results of the examination of bits, used in field conditions, are presented.It is shown that typical causes of loss of efficiency of drill bits hard-alloy teeth are their destruction as a result of partial chipping of the working surface and the teeth breakdown. It was found that most teeth were destroyed on the middle and peripheral rings. These results correlate well with the results of study of the drill bits cutting structure workload.

Abstract
The problems of operation of wells suffered from gas shows in the tubing-casing annulus are discussed in the article. It is shown that operation of wells with presence of tubing-casing annulus pressure leads to pollution of the environment and occurrence of open gas blowouts, that is why according to safety rules such operation of wells is not allowed without development of special compensation actions aimed at ensuring the reliability of well constructions, wellheads and at providing the measures for enhanced ecology safety and blowouts prevention. It this connection the development of compensation actions of safety, described in this article, becomes urgent and timely.

Abstract
The energy strategy of Russia predetermines to bring the level of production of oil with gas condensate up to 445 million tons per year by 2020. This will undoubtedly increase the anthropogenic impact on the environment because these processes will happen in the conditions of aging of facilities of production, processing, refining and transport of hydrocarbon materials. Adherence to the basic directions of rational nature management, stated in this article, will permit not only to eliminate the negative changes occurred in the environment due to the technological processes of FEC enterprises, but also to prevent them.
