With the horizontal well, you're able to get far more out of the producing formation than you would with one well otherwise, because the horizontal line of the well is running through that portion of the rock that has within it the oil and gas, decreasing markedly the numbers of wells you need to drill and of course the surface disturbance associated with that.
Le puits horizontal permet de tirer beaucoup plus de la formation productrice qu'un puits traditionnel parce que la ligne horizontale du puits traverse la partie du roc qui contient le pétrole et le gaz, ce qui réduit considérablement le nombre de puits qu'il faut forer et, bien sûr, les perturbations en surface.
