Performance and behavior of a horizontal well in reservoir subject to double-edged water drive
Abstract
Determining the performance and behavior of horizontal well subjected by double-edge water drive reservoir at a late time period has been a concern to many researchers. Wellbore pressure losses during production in horizontal well increase conning propensity at late period thus rendering some part of the horizontal well unproductive. This restricts the effectiveness of increasing the horizontal well length due to wellbore pressure losses along the horizontal well. This study was carried out by using source function and Newman rule to develop models to predict the performance and behavior of a horizontal well which was subjected by double Edgewater and numerical method was used for the computation and Sensitivity analysis of parameters was performed. The results show that the performance and behavior of the reservoir for this study were found to be when the well is position at well length (XWD: YWD: ZWD), in the ratio of 12:7:15 respectively.
