This 2-hour training presents the different derivative shapes for horizontal wells and the interpretation techniques to reduce the non-uniqueness. Several variations of the horizontal well model are considered with a particular focus on the following:
-horizontal well with a small drain length,
-horizontal well in a reservoir with a low vertical permeability value,
-horizontal well in a reservoir with the presence of near wellbore boundaries,
-horizontal well in a reservoir with the presence of a fluid contact,
-horizontal well in a multi-layer reservoir,
-horizontal well with a gas breakout,
-multi-frac horizontal well.
Other factors such as wellbore phase redistribution, well position, drain conductivity or the size and number of open horizontal sections are also discussed, with a live exercise for illustration.

Training Objectives

What are the training objectives ? 
The main objectives are to:
  • Learn the different types of transient responses and derivative shapes for horizontal wells,
  • Understand the uncertainty on the well and reservoir parameters for various cases,
  • learn the different interpretation techniques to reduce the non-uniqueness,
  • Interpret a complex horizontal well using the PIE and Saphir well test softwares.
 

Agenda

What will be covered ? 
Variations of the basic horizontal well responses are considered, with the interpretation techniques to reduce the non-uniqueness.  typical response and matching process are presented for a horizontal well. The second part of the video shows a “live” well test interpretation on an oil horizontal well using PIE and Saphir softwares.
The areas covered are:
  • Different types of horizontal well responses and derivative shapes,
  • Techniques to help the matching process and reduce the non-uniqueness,
  • “Live” exercise using PIE and Saphir softwares to interpret the PBU test from a production horizontal well,
  • Factors that complicate the analysis.
