Key words: artificial lift methods, production problems, high gas-oil ratio , asphaltene-resin-paraffin deposits, ESP, gaslift

The article presents the features of the selection of artificial lift method in a large variation of operational parameters of wells as a result of SWAG and the presence of the production problems specific to Roman Trebs’ field. There were described approaches which used to calculate the technological conditions of the well operations, considering the presence and predictability of production problems and the choice of technologies to prevent them.
