In recent years, unconventional reservoirs have become an important source of hydrocarbon resources, with many of these reservoirs being found in shale formations. However, exploiting these resources presents unique challenges due to the complex nature of the reservoirs. One technology that has gained popularity in production from unconventional reservoirs is the use of horizontal wells. The use of horizontal wells can enhance the production of unconventional reservoir. Horizontal wells have become a commonly used method for maximizing production in these unconventional reservoirs due to their ability to access the maximum amount of the reservoir through horizontal drilling. However, the performance of horizontal wells in these unconventional reservoirs is still not fully understood. This project proposal aims to analyze the performance of horizontal wells in unconventional reservoirs.
The project's outcomes will improve our understanding of how horizontal wells perform in unconventional reservoirs. It will also help to optimize the design and operation of these wells to maximize their performance and ultimately improve hydrocarbon recovery. This project's significance is underscored by the importance of unconventional reservoirs as a significant source of hydrocarbon resources and the growing use of horizontal wells in maximizing production rates in these reservoirs.
