| Summary: | a new application using multiple-lateral horizontal wells to additional pay zones as well as natural fractures. The and enhance incremental economics. Horizontal wells provide anisotropic reservoirs while increasing the incremental net application of multiple-lateral horizontal wells to reduce areally anisotropic reservoirs. Little effort has been made attractiveness of horizontal wells with multiple-laterals based on incremental net present value as compared to single- candidate screening into a coherent approach to drilling a compared to single-horizontal wells based on well performance completion options. The next decision is what direction to drill the horizontal well. This paper will show the critical greater reservoir exposure and are useful in intersecting Horizontal productivities will be compared to other horizontal well completions. This paper will first discuss horizontal well. It will identify and discuss the governing Horizontal wells are gaining popularity throughout the impact of well orientation on horizontal well performance in important to optimizing the horizontal completion. large risk of economic uncertainty involved in not knowing lateral horizontal wells and then determine the economics modeling and economic evaluation. It will focus on the Next, it will combine the previous works on horizontal well objective of this study is to determine the relative or failure of a project. Finally, the paper will demonstrate orientations in the field. This paper will demonstrate the petroleum industry as a means to increase well productivity present value over existing single horizontal wells. reduce the risk of economic uncertainty in areally research. It will then discuss the advancements of steady- reservoir characterization in areally anisotropic reservoirs. reservoir testing. This can determine the economic success state, pseudosteady-state and transient models which have led the development of the productivity model used in this the risks of economic uncertainty associated with poor these directions and demonstrate the need for additional to determine horizontal permeability magnitudes and to the current understanding of horizontal well productivity. Using a state-of-the-art productivity index model, the study variables for the success of a horizontal well project. It will also stress that conducting parametric studies is will demonstrate the productivity advantages of multiple- |
