Completion, development and prospects of multilateral wells
Azerbaijan Oil Industry, 2021The paper reviews the completion and development of multilateral horizontal wells. Brief data on location schemes of multilateral horizontal wells and completion levels is presented as well. At the same time, the paper analyzes the significance of drilling multilateral horizontal wells in the modern experience of oil and gas production, and their first

PRODUCTIVITY OF HORIZONTAL AND MULTILATERAL WELLS
Petroleum Science and Technology, 2001This paper introduces a new semi-analytical technique that can be applied to calculate the productivity of vertical, horizontal and multilateral wells. The well location and profile can be arbitrary. The reservoir region containing the well must be homogeneous (isotropic or anisotropic) and it may have constant potential or no-flow outer boundaries ...

Thermal Simulation with Multilateral Wells
SPE Russian Petroleum Technology Conference and Exhibition, 2016Abstract In this study we investigated full-field fine-scaled thermal reservoir models with multilateral wells that are independent of grid refinements and thus allow efficient optimization of well placements. This facilitated the production optimization and well interference study in thermal modeling framework.

Inflow Performance of a Stacked Multilateral Well
SPE Asia Pacific Conference on Integrated Modelling for Asset Management, 1998Abstract The use of multilateral well is becoming an emerging method to improve oilrecovery efficiently. A stacked multilateral well can produce fluids from twoor more separate productive zones. Unlike a commingled vertical well, inflow performance relationship (IPR) of a multilateral system is influenced by ...

Temperature Behavior in Multilateral Wells: Application to Intelligent Well
Proceedings of SPE Latin American and Caribbean Petroleum Engineering Conference, 2005Abstract Intelligent well completions are being increasingly used in complex wells (horizontal, multilateral, or multibranching). Such completions are equipped with permanent sensors to measure temperature and pressure profiles, which then must be interpreted to determine the inflow profiles of the various phases produced.

Optimal multilateral well placement
2010One is often faced with the problem of finding the optimal location and trajectory for an oil well. Increasingly this includes the additional complication of optimising the design of a multilateral well. We present a new approach based on the theory of expensive function optimisation.

Multilateral Horizontal Well Productivity
SPE Europec/EAGE Annual Conference, 2005AbstractThis paper presents experimental and theoretical investigations of multilateral/duallateral horizontal well performance in areally anisotropic reservoirs. The investigation is based on a 3D analytical solution. The analytical solution considers an arbitrary orientation of the multilaterals/duallaterals in horizontal plane.Experimental study was

Well-Test Analysis in Low-Permeability Multilateral Wells
International Petroleum Technology Conference, 2005This reference is for an abstract only. A full paper was not submitted for this conference. Abstract Multilateral horizontal wells are used extensively in a number of reservoirs around the world, and particularly in the Middle- East. Development is often based on patterns of multilateral producers and

Evaluation of Crossflow Effects in Multilateral Wells
SPE/DOE Improved Oil Recovery Symposium, 2002Abstract As drilling and completion technology has advanced dramatically, developing new oil fields faces new opportunities of well structure selection, especially for the fields that are sensitive to issues such as environmental conservation, cost effectiveness, safety control, and well management.

Overcoming the Perceived Risk of Multilateral Wells
SPE Offshore Europe Conference and Exhibition, 2015Abstract Multilaterals are often cited as technology that can be implemented to maximize reservoir recovery rates. However, few operators have been willing to put multilaterals into practice. The most frequently cited reason for not considering multilaterals is risk.
