Various environmental risks associated with promising hydraulic fracturing technology for carbon extraction have been studied. A comparative analysis of the use of hydraulic fracturing technology in the USA, EU countries and Russia has been carried out, and it is shown that in Europe and in the USA this technology is prohibited, not without the help of environmental activists. In Russia, some oil producing enterprises implementing similar technology when drilling wells in the Khanty- Mansiysk and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Districts are also implementing a modernized technology called multi-stage hydraulic fracturing. This technology makes it possible to increase efficiency in hard-to-recover oil reservoirs. The methods of hydraulic fracturing technology optimization are proposed in order to increase its efficiency and reduce environmental risks when using this technology.
