Analyse technico économique de performance des puits horizontaux

Abstract

Technological development and the increase of population in the world have caused a considerable increase in the demand for energy, This is what makes oil companies try to find a new strategy that works with this fact, it is drilling horizontal, which is a technique for increasing the production and exploitation of unconventional reserves. But before applying this technique, one must study its performance technically and economically according to the characteristics of the reservoir to operate. In this work, we studied : The technical performance of horizontal wells compared to vertical, the slants and finally to vertical stimulated by highlighting the various parameters that affect productivity such as the length of the drain, vertical permeability, thickness of reservoir, damage training ... etc. Arguing with well chosen case studies. The economic assessment in which we compared the cost price and the damping time (POT) of the two types of drilling (horizontal and vertical)
