... intensity is better in hinge zones, flank positions contain layers of optimal properties that have fracture intensities as good if not greater than average intensities in the forelimb or hinge zone. te conclusion is made that proper deviated or horizontal completions in optimum lithologic layers in flank...

... ABSTRACT Much attention has been given to the drilling, completion and initial production stages of horizontal wells. The advantages of using horizontal well technology is well documented and many successful field cases - in terms ofwell productivity - have been reported. Much less attention...

... ABSTRACT A new approach to complete horizontal wells is proposed to make futurestimulation work much more effective. Current well design formulations, largelyinfluenced by vertical well technologies, do not tend themselves well tofurther stimulation. Treatment of wells that have been depleted...
