AXIALLY SEGMENTED DEPLETION OPERATIONS IN HORIZONTAL WELLS

摘要

The present disclosure provides a method for improved production ofhydrocarbonsalong the length of a horizontal well where non-uniform fluid chambers haveformed in thereservoir. The present method distributes fluid along the length of asubstantially horizontalwellbore that is located within a reservoir such that different recoveryprocesses, or distinctphases of a given recovery process, operating proximally or adjacently withinthat samereservoir, and in hydraulic communication with each other within thatreservoir, are managedconcurrently along the single wellbore.
