New semianalytical solutions for evaluation of the drawdown near horizontal and slanted
wells with finite length screens in unconfined aquifers are presented. These fully three …

Comprehensive, three-dimensional, anisotropic and transient, reservoir/wellbore coupling
models are developed for infinite-conductivity and finite-conductivity wellbores to calculate …

This paper discusses the development and application of universal type-curves for the
design of Advanced Well Completions (AWCs) equipped with passive (non-adjustable), flow …

An efficient computational framework to model the growth of intersecting height-contained
hydraulic fractures is proposed. The fracture in solids is modeled by the classical theory of …

Frictional pressure drop along the completion is an important factor in the design of
horizontal wells. It must be accounted for in order to secure optimum reservoir drainage and …

Many pilot tests and several commercial field projects have been performed over the past
few decades and have shown that surfactant/polymer and alkaline/surfactant/polymer floods …

One method of thermal recovery, steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD), has proven a
commercial success in heavy oil/bitumen production. However, geological and reservoir …

Horizontal wells have become a popular alternative for the development of hydrocarbon
fields around the world because of their high flow efficiency caused by a larger contact area …

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 …

Numerous studies have examined the roles of wellbore pressure drop and near-wellbore
formation damage on the production performance of horizontal wells. These studies …
