PRODUCTIVITY OF HORIZONTAL AND MULTILATERAL WELLS

Petroleum Science and Technology, 2001
This 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 ...

Study of Multilateral-Well-Construction Reliability

SPE Drilling & Completion, 2017
Summary 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.

Entering Multilateral Wells Using Coiled Tubing

SPE/ICoTA Coiled Tubing and Well Intervention Conference and Exhibition, 2008
Abstract Coiled tubing is utilized to enter horizontal wells for the purpose of performing general remedial well operations. Common operations performed include but are not limited to stimulation treatments, solvent treatments, cleanouts and water shut-off.

Cementing Multilateral Well With Latex Cement

Proceedings of SPE/IADC Drilling Conference, 1997
SPE/IADC Members Abstract One of the latest techniques in enhancing the current production is multilateral well. A multilateral well is a well having one or more branches or lateral sections from its main bore. The lateral sections can be open-hole or cased-hole.

Modeling of Fishbone Multilateral Well Productivity in Row Well Pattern

Petroleum Science and Technology, 2013
The technology of fishbone multilateral wells has been extensively applied worldwide in oilfield development. However there are few published models about fishbone multilateral wells' productivity. Based on conformal transformation and mirror image theory, a semianalytical model was derived for horizontal wells and fishbone multilateral wells ...

Evaluation of Crossflow Effects in Multilateral Wells

SPE/DOE Improved Oil Recovery Symposium, 2002
Abstract 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.

Inflow Performance of a Stacked Multilateral Well

SPE Asia Pacific Conference on Integrated Modelling for Asset Management, 1998
Abstract 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 ...
