SUMMARY
This course is to summarize the state of the art of horizontal well technology. It included the example problems to illustrate the use of various theoretical solutions, it also listed an overview of horizontal well technology and is general introduction to the technology from reservoir, drilling and completion stand point, it will deals also with the pressure drop through a horizontal well and how important it is in the estimation of horizontal performance.
Recent advances in drilling and completion have resulted in a rapid increase in the number of horizontal wells drilled each year around the world. A horizontal well, to some extent, is different from a vertical well because it requires and interdisciplinary interaction between various professionals, such as geologist, reservoir engineers, drilling engineers, production engineers, and completion engineers. This course mainly deals with reservoir and production engineering.
In this course, it has also included example problems to illustrate the use of various theoretical solution. Wherever possible, it has not only discussed practical difficulties that one may encounter while using the theoretical solutions, but it has also listed some of the method that one can used to obtain the desired information. It also included descriptions on field histories wherever they were available.
The training will include :
- An overview of horizontal well technology and is a general introduction to the technology from reservoir, drilling, and completion standpoint.
- The reservoir engineering concepts and their application for horizontal wells. This also included a discussion on wells spacing of horizontal wells
- Steady state solution and their applications. It also includes discussions on formation damage problems in horizontal wells. In addition to horizontal wells, it also contains a discussion of slant wells. There are cases where slant wells maybe more beneficial than horizontal well.
- The influence of well eccentricity on productivity of a horizontal well. Well eccentricity represents a vertical distance between the horizontal wells location and the centre of the pay zone. Though influence of the well eccentricity on productivity of a well is minimal, it will have a strong influence on the ultimate reserves for a horizontal well drilled in reservoirs with top gas or bottom water.
- Comparison horizontal and fractured vertical wells. Discussion practical aspects of hydraulic fracturing of a vertical well, its advantages, and the limitations. The chapter also includes reasons for stimulating horizontal wells and calculation of productivities for fractured horizontal wells.
- Transient well testing. In general, transient well testing is a highly mathematical subject. At same time, it is one of the most important and useful subjects to understand the well behavior in a given reservoir. It also included all the necessary mathematics and many concepts which are essential to interpret the behavior of a horizontal well.
- Pseudo-steady state solutions for vertical wells, fractured vertical wells and horizontal wells. I have also included available solutions for the partially perforated or partially open horizontal wells. It also describes the performance of horizontal wells completed in solution gas drive reservoirs.
- Examines water and gas coning in vertical and horizontal wells. It outlines many of the available solutions for calculating water and gas coning behavior in horizontal and vertical wells. It also contains discussion of available field histories. The histories not only show successes but also the failure of horizontal wells in minimizing water and gas coning. The chapter also outlines benefit and risks associated with production testing of vertical wells to estimate the potential of horizontal wells.
- Looks at the application of horizontal wells in gas reservoirs. The horizontal wells are highly suitable for low permeability as well as high permeability gas reservoirs.
- Deals with the pressure drop trough a horizontal well and how important it is in the estimation of horizontal well performance.
This course is mainly directed to the practicing professionals who make engineering calculations and decision on horizontal well applications. For managers, the book helps to review the present state of the art. It also outline some of the gaps in technology that exist today. These gaps in technology will be useful for research engineers and research professionals to determine the areas of future research.
