Key words: hydrate, well extraction, complications, underground equipment, algorithm.

The developed algorithm allows to calculate the depth of hydrate flowing wells according to the well design, reservoir characteristics, mode of operation of the well and the physical and chemical properties, as well as the depth of hydrate mechanized wells into account the characteristics of ESP.
