Abstract:Well planning is the determination of the number, types and locations of wells required to efficiently extract a reservoir's hydrocarbons. It is a manual, time consuming process that is influenced by the engineer's experience. The process involves a search for model locations that would provide best instantaneous oil production rate while minimizing interference with neighboring wells. Traditionally, this is done by loading the model into a 3D visualization package to identify target locations. Cross-sections … Show more
