Key words: hard to recover oil reserves, new technologies, increase in efficiency, involvement in the development, horizontal wells with multi-stage hydraulic fracturing, reduction of risks.

Implementation of new technologies is a key to involve ultralow permeability hydrocarbon reserves. One of the most economically effective techniques is to drill horizontal wells with multi-stage hydraulic fracturing. Currently Gazprom Neft is actively implementing this technology, over 130 multi-stage jobs performed, resulting practical experience can effectively replicate the technology on all subsidiary divisions.
