Clemens Summary Horizontal wells are frequently used to increase injectivity and for cost-efficient production of mobilized oil in polymer-augmented waterfloods. Usually, only fluid...

... production (IP) for 180 days of oil—and introduce a model that evaluates horizontal well production variables based on DD. Key data were estimated using reservoir and production variables. The data analytics suggested the optimal DD value of 53 psi/D for different reservoirs within the Anadarko Basin...

... along the horizontal wellbore. In this paper, first, we built a cylindrical wellbore physical model to experimentally study the steam injection profiles of a single‐pipe horizontal well and a concentric dual‐pipe horizontal well. Thus, the heat and mass transfer behavior of steam along the horizontal...

... control material (LCM) was used, as required, in some but not all the wells. These long, horizontal wells were a combination of open hole (OH) and sand screens with and without inflow control together with cased and perforated (C&P) completions, producing from typical Brent Group sandstone formations...

...Kan Wu; Biyi Wu; Wei Yu Summary Well interference is a common phenomenon between wells observed in unconventional reservoirs, which has received significant attention. It plays an important role in well-spacing considerations. Massive hydraulic fractures are generated in horizontal wells...

...R. D. Barree; J. L. Miskimins; K. J. Svatek Summary Horizontal-well developments, focused on transverse hydraulic-fracture stimulation, have evolved rapidly during the past decade. Many of these completions may have missed or bypassed significant reserves that were intended to be produced from...
