Abstract
Priority directions of innovative development of Surgutnefte-gaz are shown. Horizontal drilling is chosen as the direction under study. The article presents the main areas of implementation of this technology for enhanced oil recovery at the company's fields. The data on the growth of horizontal drilling and additional oil production for the period from 1991 to 2004 were analyzed, as well as the dynamics of the cost of construction of one horizontal well for the period from 1992 to 2004 was traced and evaluated. As a result, the total economic effect from the introduction of this technology for 2004 was calculated and presented in the form of some economic indicators.
