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.

Horizontal Well Workover Experience

SPE Latin America Petroleum Engineering Conference, 1990
ABSTRACT In recent years, horizontal operations involving drilling and well completion techniques in the oil and gas industry have increased considerably, and the main reasons for this are economic feasibility and good production results.

Predicting Horizontal Well Productivity

Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology, 1996
Abstract A series of numerical experiments have been performed to compare horizontal well performance using coarse and fine grid reservoir models. The objective of this work has been to determine the effect of using a standard well model with coarse (i.e., field-scale) grid systems to approximate performance ...

Predicting Horizontal Velocities from Well Data

Proceedings, 1995
The Imperial College borehole test site consists of four boreholes with depths lying between 260 and 280 m. The boreholes intersect several cyclical sequences of sandstones, mudstones and limestones. The formations are highly laminated and ultrasonic measurements on preserved core have shown that the mudstones are intrinsically anisotropic.

Horizontal Well Performance at Prudhoe Bay

Proceedings of European Petroleum Conference, 1990
ABSTRACT The first horizontal wells in the Prudhoe Bay Unit were drilled In the central gravity drainage area to increase standoff between the wellbore and the gas cap for improved recovery and increased production rates. Subsequent applications of horizontal wells have included producers in the peripheral area of the field and adjacent ...

Beckingham 36 Horizontal Well

SPE Drilling Engineering, 1989
Summary BP Petroleum Development Ltd. successfully drilled and completed the first horizontal well in the United Kingdom as part of its 1985 R&D program. The well, Beckingham 36 (BK 36), was drilled on an existing land field near Gainsborough, U.K.

Survey Of Horizontal Gas Well Activity

SPE Gas Technology Symposium, 1996
Abstract This paper presents the results of a survey on horizontal gas well activity throughout the world. The survey was conducted for the Gas Research Institute (GRI) in 1993 and focused on cataloguing the number of horizontal gas well completions and the type of formations in which they were completed.

Fracturing Horizontal Wells In Gas Reservoirs

SPE Mid-Continent Gas Symposium, 1996
Abstract The fracturing of horizontal wells has recently gained wide acceptance as a viable completion option to maximize the return on investment. This is especially true in the case of tight gas formations. Horizontal wells have unique rock mechanics and operational aspects that affect fracture ...

Perforating the Horizontal Well

Journal of Petroleum Technology, 1989
Perforating a horizontal well may seem no different from Perforating a horizontal well may seem no different from perforating a vertical well. Horizontal well attributes, which perforating a vertical well. Horizontal well attributes, which are extremely attractive for fluid recovery and reservoir management. are controlled or enhanced only partially by
