Annotation:

The problem related to the development of deposits with high-viscous oil was raised. The geological and technological features of the operation of wells producing high-viscous oil are shown. The results of applying the method of heating the horizontal wellbore described in the paper are presented. Criteria for the applicability and payback of this method are given.
