In 2006, Tatneft OAO initiated application of the steam-assisted gravity drainage technology to develop the reserves of the Ashalchinskoye shallow heavy oil field. The paper presents analysis of pilot production. Field performance testifies to success of the heavy oil development project and practical feasibility of 70% of ultimate oil recovery.
