The aim of the work is to analyze changes in the maximum optimal flow rates of wells operating various groups of productive formations of the Volga-Ural oil and gas province under conditions of uncertainty of geological and field data. The relevance of the work is due to the deterioration of the structure of residual oil reserves and the need for the most efficient extraction of liquid hydrocarbon resources, optimization of design methods for various treatments of the bottomhole formation zone. Using geological and statistical modeling systems, the timing of cleaning the bottomhole zones of wells from drilling products was determined at the time they reached their maximum optimal flow rate in conditions of deposits confined to various stratigraphic horizons, and appropriate models of changes in productivity coefficients were constructed. The factors influencing the recovery time of the real properties of the reservoir at the point of opening it by the well, which, among other things, determines the profitability of the process of selecting residual oil reserves, have been established. Among them, the most relevant and necessary for the implementation of an integrated approach to computer support procedures for the development of oil fields are the productivity of wells, fracturing of formations, their proximity to a particular tectonic-stratigraphic complex, geological, physical and physico-chemical properties of formations and their saturating fluids. For the deposits of the Famensk tier of deposits of the Volga-Ural oil and gas province, a multiple decrease in the time of removal of reaction products after hydrochloric acid exposure at objects with low fracturing has been established. At the same time, additional processing of the bottomhole formation zone within areas with high drilling density does not affect the total cleaning time of the bottomhole zone of wells. Stimulation of the removal of drilling mud filtrate and additional products of formation reactions by injection of hydrochloric acid compositions under certain conditions can lead to a decrease in the actual productivity of wells due to the introduction of less developed and dead-end cracks into the drainage process. The existence of the specifics of the procedure for cleaning the bottomhole formation zone depending on the geological and physical parameters of productive formations is substantiated and various patterns of changes in the productivity coefficient depending on the time of wells
