Currently, most of the fields being put into development are characterized by a complex geological structure, both in terms of section and in terms of plan. The solution of all geological tasks, including such important ones as the preparation of exploration projects, operation and effective development management, is impossible without creating models that reflect the main features of the variability of target parameters. The construction of adequate models of objects with a complex structure requires the involvement of all available information. The accuracy of the geological model is mostly determined by the accuracy of the well correlation. Paleosols are a new marker for the complex-built layers of the VAk-2 and VAk-3(1) of the Tagul field, which contributes to the validity of the correlation of the section of these layers. The reliability of the model was also improved by the use of the results of facies analysis. This analysis showed that the sedimentation of the studied objects includes channel and floodplain facies. Reservoir rock properties of these facies differ significantly. The updated model is characterized by a reduction in the oil-bearing area and the amount of reserves. The implementation of the model will optimize the project fund of wells and reduce the cost of well intervention. Economically, this means reducing capital costs and increasing the profitability of the project.
