Annotation:

At the moment the economic development of the African region directly depends on the possibility of obtaining energy resources. The main African region of oil and gas production is the shelf of the Gulf of Guinea. The Rio Del Rey field is located in the Cameroonian part of the shelf, the rational development of which is very important for the Republic of Cameroon. The authors of the article consider various options of wells configuration (vertical, horizontal, with hydraulic fracturing) and a forecast of all options effectiveness is obtained.
