Reservoir simulators have long become primary reservoir engineering tools for simulating
fluid flow in porous media, recovery analyses and performance evaluation in the oil and gas …

The determination of the optimal type and placement of a nonconventional well in a
heterogeneous reservoir represents a challenging optimization problem. This determination …

This paper focuses on studying pressure behavior, flow regimes, and productivity index of oil
and gas reservoirs depleted by horizontal wells with a fishbone type completion technology …

Wells are seldom modeled explicitly in large scale finite difference reservoir simulations.
Instead, the well is coupled to the reservoir through the use of a well index, which relates …

Multilateral horizontal wells (MLHWs) can significantly increase the reservoir exposure as
well as connect high-permeability areas (natural fractures), and thus have been widely …

A series of complex production wells have been applied in challenging reservoirs to
maximize oil recovery. Multilateral horizontal well has received plentiful attentions in recent …

Aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) is an effective time-shifting thermal energy storage
technology. Considering the enormous technical and economic input of the well pattern …

Abstract Nodal Analysis of Oil and Gas Production Systems provides a modern view on the
use of nodal analysis techniques to optimize the production from oil and gas wells. It covers …

This paper presents experimental and theoretical investigations of multilateral/duallateral
horizontal well performance in areally anisotropic reservoirs. The investigation is based on a …

A model of pressure losses in perforated pipes that includes the influence of inflow through
the pipe walls compares favorably with past and recent experimental studies. The single …
