Definitions
- Such methods are very labor-intensive and make it possible to increase the degree of extraction of oil and gas by only 10-20%, which is not sufficient.
- the task to solve the short-lived problem, is to increase the efficiency of non-profitable gas production Deposits due to a significant increase in the extraction of oil, gas and other useful minerals from the facilities.
- the posed problem was solved in the process of non-gas and non-hazardous deposits, which includes the following investigations.

- ⁇ a ⁇ ig. 1, number 5 means that the boreholes ⁇ réelle and B are reliably sealed so that they can be cleaned from the exhaust gas bypass.
- the tanks serve to extinguish in the borehole an electric shock, arising from the ignition of the arc in each separate borehole.
- FIG. 1 number 8 means an electric arc in the bore between the electric and the secondary part in the quality of the electric circuit when it is ignited, only in the case of ignition 5
- Bore holes 3 are designed for ignition in any electric arcs and for placing them inside the industrial outlet in the direction indicated by the arms.
- the first situation when at a new field after drilling a series of exploratory wells, it is known that the pressure of the net or gas is not high, or it is not affected. 6

If you need to ignite an electric arc between two adjacent boreholes, then 7 electrodes are placed in a layer that is in a good electrical condition and is safe. In the overwhelming majority of cases, this layer is the foreign layer lying in the soil of the land.
- the elec- trode 7 is placed in the water filling the well in a mixture with oil and gas in the outlet to the lower end of the unit. In fact, as the lighter component of the mixture, it appears at the top of the liquid and the water at the bottom.
- the speed of voltage increase and its maximum value depend on the parameters of the electric circuit.
- With increasing pressure the plasma temperature rises. For currents up to 10,000 ⁇ the arc burns in a diffused form, and for larger ones - in a compressed form.
- the electric arc is one of the types of discharges in gases or steams, which is short-circu- ⁇ due to ⁇ em, ch ⁇ any ele ⁇ iches ⁇ aya tse ⁇ ⁇ bladae ⁇ indu ⁇ ivn ⁇ s ⁇ yu and em ⁇ s ⁇ yu, ⁇ ⁇ u ⁇ em v ⁇ lyucheniya in this tse ⁇ d ⁇ lni ⁇ elny ⁇ ⁇ g ⁇ mny ⁇ indu ⁇ ivn ⁇ s ⁇ ey and em ⁇ s ⁇ ey on ⁇ ve ⁇ n ⁇ s ⁇ i land d ⁇ bivayu ⁇ sya za ⁇ aseniya znachi ⁇ eln ⁇ y ele ⁇ magni ⁇ n ⁇ y ene ⁇ gii, ⁇ aya ⁇ i ⁇ azmy ⁇ anii tse ⁇ i ⁇ e ⁇ emenn ⁇ g ⁇ ⁇ a ⁇ sv ⁇ b ⁇ zhdae ⁇ sya and
