Reservoir and completion characterizations can lead to significant improvements in well and development project economics. Focusing only on initial production (IP) values, however, could lead to poor ...

Stress variations and drilling directions affect fracture geometry in open-hole multistage fracturing (MSF). Determining whether to drill toward the minimum horizontal stress (σmin) or maximum ...

The impact of neglected well bore pressure losses due to fluid accumulation and kinetic energy in the fundamental energy equation used for derivation of flowing bottom-hole pressure in horizontal well ...
