An Experimental Approach of Influences of Perforated Length and Fractures on Horizontal Well Productivity

چکیده
Recently, the economic feasibility of drilling a horizontal well improved drastically due to advances in drilling technology. Advantages of horizontal wells over vertical well applications have been confirmed by many scientists(1-4) and operators(5-7). Horizontal wells showed many distinct advantages over vertical ones such as improvement of well productivity, attenuation of sand production, and significant reduction of gas and/or water coning problems.

Performance Model for Vertical Wells with Multi-stage Horizontal Hydraulic Fractures in Water Flooded Multilayer Reservoirs
For the characteristics of horizontal fractures in shallow low-permeability oil layers after hydraulic fracturing in multilayer reservoirs, horizontal fractures are taken equivalent to an elliptical cylinder with the reservoir thickness using the equivalent permeability model; then, upon the elliptic seepage theory, the seepage field which has led by a vertical well with horizontal fractures is...
متن کاملFracture Dynamic Propagation Model of High-Energy Gas Fracturing for Casing Perforated Well
The onshore oil and natural gas industries of China have started a large-scale development when crude oil reserves have been difficult to recover. The stratum fracture modification is an indispensable measure to efficiently develop oil and gas fields. Hydraulic fracturing is the most important reservoir stimulation technique, but it is still faced with various problems such as the failure to fr...
متن کاملDisplacement Discontinuity Analysis of the Effects of Various Hydraulic Fracturing Parameters on the Crack Opening Displacement (COD)
The combination of horizontal drilling along with hydraulic fracturing has significantly improved the production of hydrocarbon reservoirs and made it possible to extract the relatively impermeable and uneconomical reservoirs. The production rate of oil and gas wells increases proportional to hydraulic fracture aperture or crack opening displacement (COD). This is an important parameter i...
متن کاملPredicting Productivity of Multiple-Fractured Horizontal Gas Wells
In low-permeability gas reservoirs, horizontal wells have been used to increase the reservoir contact area, and hydraulic fracturing has been further extending the contact between wellbores and reservoirs. This paper presents an approach to evaluate horizontal well performance for fractured or unfractured gas wells, and a sensitivity study of gas well performance in low permeability formation. ...
متن کاملForced Hydraulic Jump by One and Two Continuous Sills in a Horizontal Stilling Basin.
Forced hydraulic jump in a horizontal stilling basin with one and two continuous sills at the downstream end of an ogee standard weir was investigated. Experiments were completed on sills of five different heights which were fixed at two different distances from the toe of the weir. The main characteristics of the jump such as the sequent depth ratio, relative roller length, and relative ener...
