Evaluating Horizontal Wells Inflow Profiles and Performance, Utilizing an Integrated Approach of Multiphase Production Logs Coupled with Drilling, Completion, and Production Data: Case Study
Abstract:Flow profiles of horizontal wells in heterogeneous or fractured reservoirs are usually nonuniform and are frequently characterized by high flow capacity from streaks in high permeable zones or fractures. The nonuniform flow usually causes early water breakthrough that ultimately undermines well productivity. In homogeneous reservoirs, water (or gas) breakthrough commonly occurs at the heel of the lateral section. In either case, whether in homogeneous or heterogeneous reservoirs, achieving uniform flow along t… Show more
