... such as conductivity and size. This paper presents an investigation of the fracture properties and their effect on pressure and pressure derivative signature in multilateral wells at dry gas reservoir as well as the effect of the number of laterals, length of laterals and reservoir anisotropy. The base case scenario...

... Abstract The use of multilateral wells became significant in the recent years for both oil and gas development projects due to its maximum productivity resulting into fewer dollars per SCF development cost. However, there is a common mistake during the planning phase of these complex wells...

...Well Construction and Completion Design An existing single lateral well with 7 in. casing and 4½ in. liner was converted to multilateral well to test the electric-hydraulic intelligent completion. Figure 5 below shows the initial well condition and the proposed multilateral. The workover...

... Root well: when the main well bore is vertical. Fishbone: when the laterals drilled out from horizontal wellbore. Multilateral wells are classified from level 1 to level 6S based on the complexity of the junctions. For instance, level 1 is open hole completed and level 4 has casing...

... Chen et al. (2000) developed a deliverability model for multilateral wells by coupling the reservoir inflow model with wellbore flow model for horizontal laterals before integrating the model into a multilateral deliverability model whilst acounting for pressure drop along the laterals...

... an innovative workflow for well intervention in a complex multilateral well, not only for accessing each lateral, but also to quantitatively evaluate matrix treatment in real-time for each lateral independently. The quantitative evaluation is based on two simultaneous criterions. The first is derived from...

... Abstract Drilling of multilateral wells has increased significantly over the past few years as one of the reservoir development strategies to maximize well productivity through maximizing reservoir contact (MRC). These complex wells impose big challenges with respect to well accessibility...

... Abstract Extended reach and highly deviated wellbores are becoming more and more commonplace in the oil and gas industry, bringing with them a host of challenges related to many aspects of the well construction process. Multilateral wells are an excellent example of this situation due...

... Abstract The use of multilateral wells in the oil industry has increased rapidly during the last decade. The main reason for this upsurge is that these wells provide large contact areas with the reservoir and therefore better recovery performance is achieved. In addition, the availability...

... Abstract Current drilling technology is moving towards maximum reservoir contact (MRC) by means of extended-reach horizontal and multilateral wells in all types and shapes. Horizontal and Multilateral applications become more commonplace to improve the well productivity by providing maximum...

Put differently, sound conclusions can be drawn within a comparative context...
