Multilateral-Complex Well Optimization

SPE Reservoir Simulation Symposium, 2011
Abstract Reservoir simulation is used to optimize the design of multilateral wells, where the parameters include the well path, well position, the completions design (e.g. ICD configuration), the production constraints and uncertainty from multiple realizations of a geological model. The target application is the design of

Multilateral Wells

2008
Multilateral-well technology is revolutionizing the way that reservoirs are accessed by wells. The ability to create wells with multiple branches that can target widely spaced reservoir compartments provides engineers unlimited options in optimizing economic extraction of oil and gas.

Production Performance of Multilateral Wells

Proceedings of SPE/IADC Middle East Drilling Technology Conference, 1999
Abstract Advances in drilling and completion techniques have allowed drainage of reservoirs via tile use of multi-lateral well arrangements in a variety of configurations. The most important aspects to consider regarding the application of multi-lateral wells are the potential cost benefits and potential risks of utilizing the technology.

Smart Well Completion Optimization in Multilateral Wells

Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference, 2017
Abstract The ability of smart well completions (SWCs) to best function as intended in the field, has led to renewed focus on smart well completion optimization opportunities. The action of inflow control valves (ICVs) is key to improved management of flux imbalance and premature production delay of unwanted fluids from contributing ...

Multilateral Horizontal Well Productivity

SPE Europec/EAGE Annual Conference, 2005
AbstractThis 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

Thermal Simulation with Multilateral Wells

SPE Russian Petroleum Technology Conference and Exhibition, 2016
Abstract 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.

Temperature Behavior in Multilateral Wells: Application to Intelligent Well

Proceedings of SPE Latin American and Caribbean Petroleum Engineering Conference, 2005
Abstract 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.

Multilateral Well Utilization on the Increase

SPE/IADC Drilling Conference, 1999
Abstract Shell U.K. Exploration and Production (Shell Expro), in its effort to reduce the cost per barrel of oil, continues to foster the evolution and utilization of multilateral wells and associated new technologies to develop, both, new and maturing reservoirs in all sectors of the North Sea.

Multilateral/High-Pressure Jet-Wash Tool System Successfully Employed in Multilateral Wells

Proceedings of SPE/ICoTA Coiled Tubing Conference and Exhibition, 2005
Abstract Multilateral wells provide optimal recovery of reservoir pay and can become more prolific with stimulation or cleanout treatments. Downhole tools exist that index and allow the coiled tubing string to find and enter additional legs; however, they function using flow rate modulation.
