A method has been developed to optimize the field operating mode. This involves calculating the optimal flow rates for production wells, considering both technological and economic constraints, to maximize the production of marketable products. The method was implemented using an integrated fishery model on a computer. A mathematical model has been developed to describe the objective function, which represents the total marginality of marketable product output. This model takes into account the flow rates of production wells, the component compositions of products from each well, as well as the specific marginality and component compositions of each commercial product. Technological and economic limitations have also been considered. The search for optimal flow rates of production wells, where the objective function reaches its maximum value, is conducted during a calculation stage. This stage has a duration that allows for negligible changes in the parameters affecting the objective function. The linear programming method is used to solve this optimization problem. The calculation includes the evaluation of the total marginality of marketable products, the yield and composition of each product, and the injectivity of injection wells. The optimization process is divided into five stages. Firstly, the calculation horizon and duration of the calculation stage are determined, along with the specific marginality of each commercial product and the constraints independent of the development system's throughput. Secondly, production wells participating in the optimization process are selected, and constraints dependent on the development system's throughput are set. The component compositions of products from each well and each commercial product are also calculated at this stage. Next, the optimization problem is solved for the specific calculation stage. Then, using an integrated production model, the production regime is determined based on the flow rates calculated in the previous stage. Finally, in the fifth stage, a planning regime is developed, and goals for the next design stage are set. The goal of this work is to establish a methodology and implement it in a computer program to efficiently find the optimal operating mode for the fishery. This methodology considers all technological and economic limitations.
