Anotace: The relevance of this study is due to the need to optimize the oil production process in the fields of the West Siberian province. At the

moment, the actual oil recovery factor often deviates from the design
values, which leads to inefficient production and loss of resources.
Therefore, the purpose of the study is to develop a methodology for
optimizing the process of monitoring and regulating an oil field development facility using block factor analysis and de-signing hydraulic fracturing cracks. The work uses methods such as block factor
analysis, 3D modeling, hydrodynamic modeling, and mathematical
modeling. The result of the study is a developed methodology for optimizing the process of monitoring and regulating an oil field development facility. The article also discusses the main reasons for the
deviation of actual oil production from calculated values, including
hydraulic fracturing technology. Unsuccessful cases of this procedure and their causes were identified. The features of the block factor
analysis tool and the proactive analysis method are described, as well
as how to use it at the design and modeling stage of hydraulic fracturing to improve the efficiency of the well-stimulation operation.
Successful implementation of hydraulic fracturing allows one to approximate the actual oil recovery factor to design values, which is
important for increasing the efficiency of production at the field and
optimizing the use of resources.
