For example, operations on Plug and Perf technology are performed at well No. 411 of Rechitsa field. "The complex of measures includes horizontal well drilling, multistage hydraulic fracturing (fracturing), development. The well itself is complex in design, with a large Zenith angle and the length of the horizontal wellbore is almost 1.2 km away. basically, these processes for "Belorusneft" new", - explained the press service.
