More details about the topic

Horizontal wells with multi-stage fracture (HWMSF) completions are now regularly being drilled and completed in low- to- mid permeability oil-bearing conventional reservoirs [k<100 mD] where the oilfield is under water flooding. While the industry passed the HWMSF technology gap of drilling and completing these wells the productivity has been below expectation. It manifests itself either by an early time relatively high production rate followed with a steep production decline and water breakthrough or low initial production and even lower late time production. What went wrong and what can be done? The lessons learned in the shale oil are not pertinent to such conventional formations and hence the problem looked from the reservoir standpoint focuses on the adequate pressure support maximizing drainage, revising the water flood process through drilling patterns and the specific completion techniques. Equally the question warrants answers on current HWMSF restimulation, addressing methodology applied to specific completion design, the horizontal wellbore azimuthal orientation within the stress field and finally - the injector and producer well operating condition. The lecture discussed novel designs for re-frac as well as future reservoir development, and at the same time is a plea to the drilling and completion to reservoir engineering teams to integrate their competencies and ensure complex production systems optimizations
