SPEI - Reservoir Aspects of Horizontal and Multilateral Wells
Description
The course includes discussion on practical issues and reservoir parameters of horizontal well projects. The topics include formation damage, drainage areas, well spacing, well reserves, and rate calculations using steady and pseudo-steady-state methods. The course also includes discussion on several field case histories and performance analysis of horizontal wells.
