Based on an analysis of variations in the petrophysical parameters of reservoirs upon an increase in effective pressure from 37 to 57 MPa, i.e., under conditions simulating the development of a field for depletion, changes in the volume and compressibility of the pore space are estimated. In this case, the porosity coefficient decreases by 0.043 abs. %, while the compressibility of the pore space decreases by 0.228 1/GPa. The average volumetric compression strain increases by 0.096%, which means a reduction in the volume of developed reservoirs by almost 0.1% relative to the beginning of development. A deformable formation model developed by Yu.O. Kuzmin based on the geodynamic history of the development of deposits is applied to estimate the magnitude of possible subsidence of the ground surface during development. The maximal values of possible surface subsidence (drawdowns) upon a decrease in reservoir fluid pressure by 5 MPa are estimated to be 0.33 m with allowance for the dynamics of petrophysical parameters and 0.335 m with no allowance for it. The maximal drawdowns are already estimated at 0.60 and 0.65 m upon a decrease in reservoir pressure by 10 MPa and 0.78 and 0.83 m upon a complete depletion of reservoir energy, respectively.
