Abstract: This paper examines the importance of using modern methods of oil and gas saturation forecasting in field development and exploitation. The efficiency of field development and the accuracy of estimating the volume of recoverable oil and gas directly depend on the correctness of geological studies and the accuracy of saturation determination. The study analyzed modern methods and technologies used to forecast saturation, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. Modern methods of oil and gas saturation forecasting are not limited to geological studies, but also include geophysical, geochemical and other types of studies. The integrated use of these methods allows for more accurate oil and gas volumes forecasting, which contributes to the efficient development of fields. For example, seismic studies, data on well features and their geological characteristics, as well as mathematical models based on original data help create more accurate forecasts. In the course of the work, comparative analyses of various methods applying results of forecasting saturation on real deposits were carried out. The work also provides recommendations aimed at increasing the efficiency of field development, ensuring environmental safety and rational use of resources. The use of modern methods for predicting oil and gas saturation in the process of exploration and development of fields helps to improve production efficiency, operational sustainability and environmental safety in the future.
