摘要

One of the common applications of horizontal wells is therndevelopment of thin oil columns underlain by bottom waterrnand/or overlain by a gas cap. Vertical wells are not suited inrnthis situation due to the rapid coning of water or gas atrnreasonable production rates. Horizontal wells correctlyrnpositioned in the oil column, however, can produce at highrnflow rates with very little drawdown. The small drawdownrnsignificantly delays the breakthrough of water or gas at flowrnrates much higher than the flow rates possible from a verticalrnwell.rnThe flow distribution in a horizontal well designed torndevelop a thin oil column can be significantly impacted byrnfriction losses in the wellbore. The impact of friction results inrna higher drawdown at the heel as compared to the toe of thernhorizontal well. While this impact is insignificant in lowerrnpermeability systems, it can lead to premature water or gasrnbreakthrough at the heel of the well in high permeabilityrnsystems produced with low reservoir drawdown.rnSkin damage is normally undesirable due to its detrimentalrnimpact on well productivity. In high permeability systemsrndeveloped with horizontal wells, however, well productivity isrnnormally not a problem. Skin damage actually diminishes therndetrimental impact of friction in horizontal wells by improvingrnthe flow distribution. This study investigates the intentionalrninclusion of mechanical skin damage in a high permeability,rnNorth Sea horizontal development. Reservoir simulation wasrnused to justify and design a limited entry completion that wasrnshown to improve flow distribution and oil recovery, at arnsignificantly lower completion cost. The desired uniform flowrnrate distribution was confirmed by a PLT run in the first well,rnand through reservoir simulation and history matching.
