This process results in mixing of the gas with oil and hence the development of a single-phase flow with lower viscosity and density than the shale oil by itself.

This results in improved performance predictions and better identification of bypassed oil for infill targeting and EOR applications. Artificial Intelligence information reservoir...

... in vertical open-hole well completions, as the initial wells gave high liquid rates, possibly due to the high fracture permeability and gravity assisted drainage. However, these super-K layers also had the unwanted effect of channeling water very rapidly to the wellbores, resulting in fast increasing water...

... Abstract Technology that directly controls water coning employs in-situ water drainage using oil wells with downhole water sink (DWS) bottom completions. With DWS, the well's oil productivity dramatically improves as oil can be recovered from a thin pay zone underlain by bottom water...

... Abstract This paper describes a low-cost completion technique that uses conventional tubing and replaces the expensive thermal packer with a new low-cost design. The new design allows free tubing expansion and protects casing through continuous gas circulation in the annulus. It also makes...

We assess the implementation of an intelligent horizontal well in a thin oil rim reservoir in the presence of reservoir uncertainty, and evaluate the benefit of using two completions in conjunction with surface...

The flow capacity plots and the log-log plots are capable of identifying whether the connectivity of an injector-producer well pair is through fractures, a high-permeability layer, multiple-layers or through partially completed wells. Finally, the approach, based on Lorenz plots, can...

... To exploite the low permeability sub-units, multi-laterals in two sub-units have been tried. The first dual lateral in two different layers in the eastern part of the field indicated an improved productivity of the well by about 1000 bopd. A trilateral completion has also been experimented...
