The trajectory of a deviated well may be described in terms of its inclination, depth, and azimuth. The inclination of a well at a given depth is the angle (in degrees) between the local vertical and the tangent to the …
A horizontal well 1,000 ft long ( Lw) is drilled in a box-shaped drainage volume 4,000 ft long ( aH ), 2,000 ft wide ( bH ), and 100 ft thick ( h ). The well is off-center in the y -direction (parallel to the well), so dy = 250 ft and Dy = 750 ft. The well is also off-center in the x -direction so that dx = 1,000 ft and Dx = 3,000 ft.
The trajectory of a deviated well may be described in terms of its inclination, depth, and azimuth. The inclination of a well at a given depth is the angle (in degrees) between the local vertical and the tangent to the wellbore axis at that depth (Figure 13.1.1). The convention is that 0 degrees is vertical and 90 degrees is horizontal.
Wells drilled horizontally into tight oil and shale gas formations continue to account for an increasing share of crude oil and natural gas production in the United States. In 2004, horizontal wells accounted for …
Our production logging tools help efficiently and accurately evaluate your well's performance. You can configure these tools for optimal measurement of a wide range of production conditions, including vertical, highly deviated, or horizontal wells. Use them for a variety of well completion types, including openhole (barefoot), cased-hole ...
The new model accounts for the effects of wellbore geometry on liquid loading and predicts the critical rate for horizontal and deviated wells. –. The new model accuracy of predicting the critical gas rates was tested with data set comprised of 62 wells, of which 60 are from literature and 2 experimental wells.
Plug cementing in highly deviated and horizontal wells is increasingly challenging, particularly as the reach and depth increase; Hole cleaning (static cuttings) and "proper" before-job conditions; Mud …
After Vogel proposed a dimensionless inflow performance equation, with the rise of the horizontal well production mode, a large number of inflow performance relationship (IPR) equations have emerged. In the productivity analysis of deviated and horizontal wells, the IPR equation proposed by Cheng is mainly used. However, it is still …
Drilling deviated wells has become customary in recent times. This work condenses various highly deviated and horizontal well log interpretation techniques supported by field examples. Compared to that in vertical wells, log interpretation in …
The cost of drilling and completing horizontal wells continues to drive industry experts and engineers to seek more economical ways to exploit these …
Summary. With the development of highly deviated and horizontal wells, new techniques for running logging tools have been developed, in addition to the wireline method, for conveying logging tools in wells. Five techniques are now operational: the wireline method, the measurement-while-drilling (MWD) method, the information and …
December 1, 2021. Fig. 1—Developing region of the experimental facility. An experimental study of a shroud-type downhole separator for a pumped horizontal or deviated well is presented in this study. The separator is located at high deviation angles (i.e., 45° to 80° from vertical). The effects of the upstream gas and liquid flow rates are ...
Overview. The first line of defense against rod/tubing-wear and sucker-rod fatigue problems in deviated and horizontal wells is a good wellbore profile (see previous sections on rod-string/tubing wear and rod loading). Ideally, the planned angle build rates should be kept as low as practical, and additional monitoring is typically required during …
Most wells are deviated or horizontal in crosswell seismic exploration.Ray tracing and wave equation forward modeling methods have bad performance in computational accuracy and efficiency when facing actual crosswell exploration. Gaussian beam combines the advantages of ray tracing and wave equation method. It not only eliminates the …
Chemical Engineering questions and answers. Production by means of deviated horizontal wells is common in fractured reservoirs because: a) Fractures are commonly horizontal. b) Fractures are commonly vertical c) The wells lifetime increases d) The horizontal permeability is commonly high.
The new model accounts for the effects of wellbore geometry on liquid loading and predicts the critical rate for horizontal and deviated wells. –. The new model …

Selection of drilling fluid is one of the key factors in the hole cleaning process of horizontal and deviated wells. Rheological properties such as viscosity and yield …
Rosneft: New Approach to Well Logging Data in Horizontal and Deviated Wells. — January 10, 2017. Horizontal and extended reach drilling has been steadily growing over the last decades. The geological …
Wells drilled horizontally into tight oil and shale gas formations continue to account for an increasing share of crude oil and natural gas production in the United States. In 2004, horizontal wells accounted for about 15% of U.S. crude oil production in tight oil formations. By the end of 2018, that percentage had increased to 96%.
Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to tackle deviated and horizontal wellbore difficulties in GOF field. Specific drilling hole problems are addressed and reviewed. Additionally ...
Abstract and Figures. To solve the problem of hole cleaning quantitative evaluation in highly deviated / horizontal well sections, experiments are made on the …
Hole cleaning is an important issue during drilling processes due to the increasing number of extended reach horizontal and deviated wells that have been drilled for enhancing the contact with target formations, resulting in power demands for effective drilling fluid circulation that contribute to remove drilling cuttings (Epelle and ...
