The author
- draws from his extensive experience in horizontal operations around the world and provides you with a thorough understanding of horizontal well technology basics;
- presents history of the technology, recent developments, and basic drilling concepts. In addition, he discusses factors influencing horizontal well performance, such as naturally fractured reservoirs, inaccessible locations, drilling attic oil, drilling through faults and relief wells;
- discusses performance factors, such as naturally fractured reservoirs, inaccessible locations, drilling attic oil, drilling through faults, and relief wells;
- includes field histories and analyses of productivity and performance.
