Horizontal and Multilateral Wells: Analysis and Design - HML1 - In House Training

Horizontal and Multilateral Wells: Analysis and Design - In-house training by PetroSkillsThis course can be conducted on site at your location exclusively for your staff. The course is designed as a companion course to Horizontal and Multilateral Wells: Completions and Stimulation. Advanced well concepts including horizontal and multilateral wells have become a dominant feature of new field development and redevelopment opportunities. They can, when used appropriately, dramatically improve the economic profitability of field development operations. However, their successful deployment largely depends on the effectiveness of the initial screening of candidate fields/wells and an assessment of the longer term production dynamics essential to ensuring 'life of well' design criteria and effective reservoir management. The complex, interdisciplinary decisions in advanced well projects are emphasized. This course stresses the effective identification of objectives and planning goals in the design evaluation process, the technical and economic assessment of risks and uncertainties, and the provision of flexible solutions. The application and benefits of horizontal and multilateral wells are analyzed. The process of candidate screening and selection, involving geological, reservoir, and production characteristics are considered, as well as constraints on drilling and completion options. Learn to select appropriate well geometries or trajectories, with respect to a range of reservoir environments, to optimize well capacity and fluid recovery. Methods to predict well performance and recovery from horizontal and multilateral wells are presented. The integration of inflow and wellbore flow performance for individual and multilateral wells is discussed. Well completion options for horizontal and multilateral wells are summarized. Reservoir simulation approach is presented during the course. Economic and risk analysis and well performance prediction for advanced...
