Thermal Well Testing For a Horizontal Well

Annual Technical Meeting, 1992
Abstract Horizontal wells are becoming popular for primary and enhanced oil recovery operations because of unique advantages of horizontal wells in comparison to those for vertical wells. Monitoring the progress of a steam injection process requires a knowledge of the steamswept volume, as this provides a measure of

WELL TRACTORS FOR HIGHLY DEVIATED AND HORIZONTAL WELLS

Proceedings of European Petroleum Conference, 1994
ABSTRACT This paper introduces the oil industry to a new type of downhole tools - the Well Tractors with modular power source designed for running in open hole and inside the completions of horizontal and highly deviated wells. The Well Tractors are used for cleaning, setting and pulling of plugs, operating sliding sleeves,

Productivity of Horizontal Wells

Proceedings of Low Permeability Reservoirs Symposium, 1991
ABSTRACT Many horizontal wells are being drilled all over the world. One of the objectives is to increase the well productivity, compared to vertical wells. This increase in productivity occurs in a naturally fractured reservoir because many fissures are intercepted by the horizontal well.

Well-Control Operations in Horizontal Wells

SPE Drilling Engineering, 1991
Summary This paper analyzes well control for horizontal wells. It presents a computer model for predicting the pressure behavior in a horizontal well during gas-kick removal and analyzes the simulation results for several field conditions.

Productivity of a Horizontal Well

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1988
Abstract Two appendices describe the mathematical and algebraic details that led to the formulas provided in the text of this paper. Appendix A presents the general solution, and briefly describes the techniques for deriving simple, closed form expressions for single, double, and triple sums of infinite series. Appendix B describes these

Geophysics and the horizontal well

The Leading Edge, 1989
Peter Gretener, Professor of Geophysics at the University of Calgary, teaches (along with Tom Davis of the Colorado School of Mines) SEG’s Continuing Education course Reservoir Heterogeneity: Causes, Detection, and Remedial Action (previously titled Seismic and Geological Analysis of Fractured Reservoirs). Gretener obtained his doctorate from the Swiss

The Analysis of Horizontal Extension Capability in Horizontal Wells

Advanced Materials Research, 2014
It is critical to understand whether the available drilling assembly could meet the requirements of drilling design during the design and drilling of horizontal wells. This paper pointed out several limitations on horizontal extension capability of horizontal wells and provided judging criteria of the limit of horizontal extension based upon the ...

Modeling Well Performance for Fractured Horizontal Gas Wells

Proceedings of International Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition in China, 2010
Abstract In tight gas reservoirs, horizontal wells have been used to increase reservoir contact and hydraulic fracturing has been applied to further extend the contact of the reservoir. Point source solution has been used to describe the flow behavior.

Uniform Head in Horizontal and Vertical Wells

Groundwater, 2005
Abstract The steady‐state head within a fully penetrating well may be estimated by evaluating the Thiem equation at the radius of the well. A method is presented here to extend results from the Thiem equation to horizontal wells and to partially penetrating wells.
