Russian term

кратно меньшая масса

Russian to English Tech/Engineering Petroleum Eng/Sci frac
Влияние интенсивных отборов до ГРП позитивно скажется на возможностях размещения проппанта преимущественно в нефтяной зоне коллектора, происходящее при «вмещении» трещины без проникновения в водонасыщенную зону.
