Abstract:The shifting trend towards drilling multilateral wells has motivated engineers and researchers to investigate ways to improve their decision-making when designing multilaterals. The problem becomes more challenging in unconventional reservoirs, where tighter and highly heterogeneous and discontinuous reservoirs are targeted. Achieving the right design of a multilateral well configuration is a complex problem due to the vast possibilities of well forms (i.e., number, location, length and orientation of laterals… Show more
