摘要

Many horizontal wells are being drilled allrnover the world to increase their productivity inrncomparison to that of vertical wells. Horizontalrnwells increase reservoir contact area and thusrnincrease productivity. Therefore, it is essential to bernable to predict the horizontal well productivity. Thernmajor objectives of this investigation are to: (1)rndevelop a comprehensive evaluation of currentlyusedrnsteady-state productivity equations ofrnhorizontal well, (2) investigate the effect ofrnhorizontal well length and pay zone thickness on thernproductivity ratio of horizontal well to vertical well,rnwhen both having the same drainage area and underrnidentical flow conditions, and (3) study therninfluence of pressure drop on production rate ofrnhorizontal wells using different steady-state flowrnequations.rnIn this study, six different steady-staternequations of the open-hole horizontal wells underrnidentical conditions of flow parameters andrnreservoir geometry are subjected to a wide ranges ofrnhorizontal well lengths (100 to 3,000 ft), pay zonernthickness (50 ft to 500 ft), and pressure drop (10 psirnto 200 psi). These horizontal wells were used torncalculate the productivity and to study therninfluences of flow rate and pressure drop on thernsensitivity of these equations.rnThe obtained results showed that all steadystaternequations provide similar horizontal wellrnproductivity for horizontal well length < 1000 ft,rnwhile a remarkable difference appears and increasesrnwhen well length increases > 1,000 ft. In addition,rnthe results using all steady-state equationsrnconfirmed the recommendation of the application ofrnhorizontal well for thin formations and do notrnrecommend it in thick ones (h> 250 ft) for wellsrnhaving identical rock and fluid properties.rnComparing the performance of steady-staternequations showed that all of these equations arernsensitive to the increase of pressure drop, whichrnyields an increase in flow rate of horizontal well.rnThe results of this study have importantrnimplications in reservoir simulation studies, since itrnevaluates some important variables including payrnzone thickness, well length, and pressure drop onrnthe performance of each flow equation.
