Productive formations with low poroperm properties and often abnormally low formation pressure are the main drilling targets in Western Siberia now. The use of water-based drilling fluids at the completing in such conditions leads to complications and accidents. Alternatively, at multilateral wells drilling with great reservoir driving it is proposed the use of oil-based drilling fluids. Laboratory tests on the cores confirmed that oil-based drilling fluids have a minimum filtration and the highest rates of permeability recovery. This makes it possible to preserve poroperm properties of low-permeability reservoir and contributes to increasing the efficiency of the productive formation development. Industrial experimental works are carried out in the fields of LUKOIL-West Siberia LLC. The results of oil-based drilling fluids application for horizontal multilateral wells completing show the effectiveness of the given technology. The complications, associated with the drilling fluid, are excluded, penetration rate increases to 30%, non-productive time reduces when oil-based drilling fluids are used in conditions of a stratum with abnormally low formation pressure at reservoir driving up to 1200 m. The initial oil production rate has exceeded 20% the same index of the well, drilled with a water-based drilling fluid in similar geological and technical conditions. Oil-based drilling fluids reusing has allowed to reduce the cost of materials by 20%.
