This article considers three main applications of proppant hydraulic fracturing in Samaraneftegas JSC as a tool for oil fields development management: 1) low-producing collectors with abnormally high fracturing pressure which cannot be developed without hydraulic fracturing; 2) deposits with highly viscous oil which had no successful practices of EOR methods implementation (traditional for such deposits); newly discovered oil source deposits of Samara region, as a promising areas for maintenance of oil production level in Samaraneftegas JSC.
