... Abstract Horizontal and multi-lateral wells have become increasingly important and represent a growing percentage of production wells. They are used to maximize the well to reservoir contact and improve oil recovery in a cost efficient manner. This is especially true for offshore fields where...

..., detrimental to overall recovery. To study the strategies for optimizing multilateral wells, we have developed a mathematical model to predict well performance for horizontal and multilateral wells using coupled multiphase models of wellbore/reservoir flow. The flow distribution along the laterals is predicted...

Comparable results obtained for vertical wells are cumulative oil-steam ratio of 0.1 and production costs...

... sands contribute to the success of slotted liner completions. The reservoir is composed of well sorted, thick turbidite sands which dip at about 45 degrees. The first two wells were drilled at an oblique angle to dip with approximately 400' laterals. The third well was drilled on strike with slightly...
