Abstract: In 2006 Tatneft OAO has begun the unique project on extraction of high-gravity oil at Ashalchinskoye deposit with use of steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD)technology. From six tested modes of pair wells operation the optimal one is determined. It is drawn a conclusion about the possibility of distribution of the received positive experience on all deposit on high-viscosity oils with a layer thickness more than 15 m.

Key words: heavy oil reservoir, thermal production, steam-assisted gravity drainage, technology
