The development of multi-layer oil and gas fields, the productive formations of which have low flow and reservoir properties (FRP), poses a severe problem in the operation of wells. When exploiting formations with a single well, there are challenges in effectively controlling the development of each formation. This can lead to difficulties in resolving issues related to the distribution of produced oil and injected liquid between the formations. To improve well operation efficiency, it is essential to impact the bottomhole zone (BHZ), which is determined by the geological and physical characteristics of the productive formation. In light of the reservoir›s clayey and low-permeability nature, this study has confirmed the significant success of hydraulic fracturing in conjunction with the proposed physical and chemical interventions to impact the wellbore zone within the hydrocarbon field under investigation. It has resulted in a substantial increase in oil production. This led to certain formations experiencing a significant increase in oil production, from 2.7 to 53 tons per day.
