Claim Text:
1. A method of affecting an oil-saturated formation and a bottom hole zone of a horizontal well, said method comprising the steps of: immersing a device capable of explosive plasma formation into a wellbore in order to generate pulses, immersing the device sequentially first in a vertical part of the wellbore, and then, with a delivery means, to a horizontal part, configuring the delivery means to transmit the necessary force to move the device along the horizontal part of the wellbore; whereas, when the pulse generating device is immersed in the horizontal direction, the force at the junction of delivery means; and the pulse generating device are controlled simultaneously as well as the location of the device with respect to the longitudinal axis of the borehole using a centralizer, after the device has reached its target point, it is activated to form a series of successive vibrations radially propagated from the well inward the formation.
