... cased/cemented horizontal completions in low-permeability reservoirs. 1 - 8 To achieve proper stimulation with a technique such as fracture-acidizing or hydraulic fracturing with proppants, operators must incorporate an economical, effective method for controlling fluid or proppant placement. However...

...Field and Reservoir Description Abstract When an operator is planning to drill a horizontal completion in a lower-permeability carbonate or sandstone reservoir, one of the prime well-design considerations is cost containment. Unfortunately, many operators use decision-making processes...
