The choice of a development system for new oil fields is made by carrying out a series of calculations of predictive indicators on a hydrodynamic model, followed by an economic evaluation of the proposed options. A large number of varying development parameters (well placement scheme, distance between wells, completion method, horizontal well length, presence and number of hydraulic fractures, time of oil injection well development, etc.), as well as a large range of variation of these parameters values, require considerable time to select optimal values under the existing macroeconomic parameters. The developed algorithm for the selection of the optimal well placement system for carbonate reservoirs allows to realize a large variation of the development system parameters in a short time. In this paper, the algorithm for selecting the optimal well placement system is presented on the example of one of the Company's fields. The aim of this study is to establish a method for optimizing multivariate carbonate reservoir development systems. Our proposed method builds on the existing corporate software module, which facilitates the making of operational design decisions for any new drilling sites of carbonate objects. The module has been modified to include parameters that describe fluid filtration in a carbonate reservoir, such as reservoir type, wettability character, and secondary medium parameters.
