Abstract:Since 1989, Husky Oil has drilled 12 horizontal wells in six mature hydrocarbon vertical miscible flood pools. To date, these horizontal wells have been very successful in reducing gas coning and improving oil productivity(1) as originally intended. Furthermore, actual field performance indicates that, in some cases, horizontal wells have considerably improved productivities of adjacent vertical wells.
The drilling of a horizontal well in the Rainbow Keg River E Pool resulted in a 10 –15% inc… Show more
