The Vankor oil field is in the third stage of the development. Well stock mostly includes horizontal and directional wells. Analysis of the field development showed that actual development rate is much higher than planned. Energy potential of the field is drained out due to formation pressure decline and water flooding. New technologies for restoring well productivity, such as acid treatment and hydraulic fracturing should be introduced to maintain planned development rate. Drilling multilateral wells should be used as main enhanced oil recovery technique.
