Abstract The analysis and improvement of the method of additional stimulation of horizontal wells – carrying out multi-zone hydraulic fracturing, which allows to significantly increase the productivity of the well, increase the drainage area, which is especially important in formations with low permeability. In this paper, the oil recovery methods used at the Yuzhnoye field, the method of modeling hydraulic fracturing were considered, and hydraulic fracturing of a highly permeable formation was simulated for two wells 1 and 3 (double-wellbore) in this field. The optimization of the hydraulic fracture design is aimed at creating a fracture of maximum conductivity and minimum length. Since neocom is a highly permeable formation, the TSO (tipscreenout) technology is proposed for hydraulic fracturing – this is end screening. This TSO technology is successfully applied at the Prudhoe Bay field (USA), in the Gulf of Mexico, Indonesia, the North Sea, Canada, Brazil, Venezuela, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia. In Russia, an example of successful design and execution is the hydraulic fracturing operation with TSO in well 4370 of the Muravlenkovskoye field, Noyabrskneftegaz company. The hydraulic fracturing method will increase the vertical permeability and unite the disparate parts of the reservoir, which will make it possible to more efficiently develop the reserves of the Neocomian deposits in the field, system for electricity consumption for the purpose of short-term forecasting of electricity consumption.
