Currently, one of the most promising technologies applied for developing the Bazhenov formation and similar objects is hydraulic fracturing with liquids based on liquefied gases. However, modern trends, external and internal factors reduce the likelihood of implementing the developed set of solutions for the existing number of tasks related to the development of the Bazhenov formation. There exists accumulated experience that should be assessed and, if possible, implemented so that the efforts of dozens of organizations that have invested their knowledge in finding solutions for developing this object and similar objects will be implemented. The novelty for Russia of hydraulic fracturing technology using liquefied gas as a fracturing fluid determines the high degree of risk of the project and predetermines conducting a risk analysis to control external and internal factors that can affect the process.
