Annotation:

Hydraulic fracturing technology used in horizontal wells can significantly increase the full utilization of the reservoir potential. The main purpose of horizontal drilling is to increase the contact area of the well with the reservoir with a change in the direction and intensity of filtration. Hydraulic fracturing further increases well productivity by creating highly conductive channels in the formation, facilitating the flow of fluid to the borehole. The assessment of the rational parameters of hydraulic fracturing, as well as the influence of hydraulic fracturing parameters on the development of the Rio del Rey deposit located offshore the Republic of Cameroon, have become the main research objectives.
