Course Introduction
Since 1980, progressively more and more horizontal wells and multilateral wells have been used for the development and production of oil and gas fields around the globe.
The main reasons for drilling horizontal wells are: 1) their stabilized production rate is about 2 to 5 times more than that of vertical wells, 2) depending upon the location and type of drilling technique used, the cost of a horizontal well is 0.6 to 2 times the cost of conventional wells, and 3) the cumulative oil and/or gas produced by a horizontal well is about 2 to 6 times more than that of a conventional vertical well.
In short, horizontal wells generally provide better economics than conventional wells.
Course objective
- To provide a great knowledge of Horizontal and Multi-lateral Wells: Completions and Stimulation Technology.
