Annotation:
The article presents the results of applying an integrated approach to the design of the development of a reservoir with an oil rim of one of the Caspian Sea offshore fields, which made it possible to significantly decrease wells, increase their operational life-time, improve wells productivity and enhance the final oil recovery of a reservoir with a massive gas cap and a thin oil rim.
