Realistic Optimization of Well Length for Horizontal Drilling

Realistic Optimization of Well Length for Horizontal Drilling

~ 43baf79620579a70df02a8635a66e157.200x200
Evaluation of optimal drain-hole length for horizontal wells in the past, under the condition of pressure drop between the toe and heel of the well, has neglected some vital variables. These include drain hole diameter as a parameter in the objective function, diameter of vertical section for well deliverability consideration, and the composite pressure drop of the well as a system. The length...
