... for Horizontal Well Technology (HWT)? Over the next ten to fifteen years can we expect 10,000 horizontal wells to be drilled, enhancing Western Canada's ultimate recovery factor by 2% from about 28% to 30% and thus producing an incremental 300 million cubic metres. This paper reviews a cross-section...

... of this technology in three closely spaced wells, drilled from a central pad which deviate up to 60 degrees from the vertical. The test is expected to yield sufficient data on production rates and probable ultimate recovery to permit a reliable economic assessment of commercial expansion. A numerical simulator which...

... did not show any preferential direction. However in recent years, production performance has been dominated by the effects of fractures between injecting and producing wells. It was apparent that a new waterflood management strategy was needed to optimize ultimate recovery an arrest declining...

... to meet increased market demand will not impair ultimate oil recovery. Introduction As production rates in Alberta have increased to meet high market demand, it has been proposed 1 that in many cases increasing production rate can adversely affect ultimate recovery. This rationale is in turn, partly...
