The article is devoted to research and development of deposits in granitoid reservoirs. The basis is the analysis of the development of the unique White Tiger field. Positive and negative experience in the development of this field deserves attention, for example, for the fields of the Timan-Pechora basement and other oil and gas provinces. Particular attention is paid to geological and geophysical, fluid studies of wells, the results of the operation of wells and reservoirs in general. Considerable difficulties are created when creating 3D geological and hydrodynamic models of deposits in granitoid reservoirs. As a result, there is a need for new laboratory and downhole research and the creation of laboratory and other equipment. It is concluded that for research and development of deposits with granitoid reservoirs, experience in the development of conventional deposits is not enough. A number of relevant recommendations are proposed.
