Multilateral well is a promising technology in developing oil reservoirs. Because this
technology may increase the production rate per well and reduce the costs of field …

In shale gas mining, the inter-fracture interference effect will significantly occur if the actual
well deviates from the planned trajectory. To reduce production loss, operators want to get …

Trajectory planning is essential to ensure the safety and efficiency of the drilling process
within varying downhole geological conditions. However, numerous constraints and …

This paper proposes a novel parametrization technique for deviated and horizontal wells
and investigates the potential of combining the Fast Marching Method (FMM) with Particle …

To ensure the trouble-free operation of the rock-destroying tool, the peculiarities of its
interaction with the rock at different stages of work must be additionally studied. Still …

Currently, the oil and gas industry faces numerous challenges in addressing geosteering
issues in horizontal drilling. To optimize the extraction of hydrocarbon resources and to …

Over the past decades, directional drilling has continuously advanced to increase
hydrocarbon recovery by effectively targeting high-productivity reservoirs. However, many …

Many prolific hydrocarbon reservoirs show the lateral heterogeneity of rock properties,
where the formation is composed of several regions with different rock properties separated …
